I am trying to design an inline keyboard for a Telegram bot that has buttons with extended widths. My goal is to include emoji icons within the button captions to make them more visually appealing and distinctive. I have seen an approach where the buttons are noticeably larger than the regular ones, and I would like to reproduce a similar effect. However, my current design does not offer a clear way to adjust the button size or integrate emojis effectively. Can someone provide guidance or share a method on how to achieve this enhanced button design? Thank you for any support you can offer.
hey, i tried adding extra unicode spaces and reordering emojis around text. it doesnt change button size but does spread the label out nice. sometimes its trial and error with different devices renders. hope this helps u in your project!
After working on this issue, I found that manipulating the textual content of buttons can deliver a visually reusable workaround for making the buttons appear wider. I experimented with inserting special whitespace characters such as non-breaking spaces alongside emoji icons. In my trials, carefully adjusting the inner padding of the button text allowed for a more balanced display. Although this method does not truly alter the button size through the API, it effectively creates the appearance of an enlarged button.
In working on a similar project, I discovered that creating wider buttons isn’t directly supported by the Telegram Bot API. However, a workaround I used was to add extra spaces or non-printing Unicode characters in the button labels so the emojis are centrally positioned on what appears to be a larger button. Experimenting with text padding has helped me simulate a wider effect. It took some trial and error to get the balance right, but once fine-tuned, it provided a visually appealing result without overly complicating the device display.
Based on my own trials with Telegram bot inline keyboards, achieving a truly wider appearance isn’t straightforward because the API doesn’t allow direct button size manipulation. I experimented with mixing various whitespace characters along with emojis and found that combining extra spaces with punctuation gave a subtle but effective widening effect. The results can be inconsistent across platforms, so extensive testing is a must. I also tried using monospace fonts in some cases, which helped maintain alignment. Overall, it is more about creative text design than any actual size change.
