GitHub displays emoji codes (e.g. : :bug:) as emoji icons (e.g. : :bug:), almost everywhere :
But not in :
The list is probably incomplete, but you get the idea.
Would Refined GitHub be suitable to fix it ?
This is mostly interesting when using the gitmoji project.
Thanks !
Thanks for the detailed request.
I'm not sure it's worth supporting emoji codes when one could just use the real emojis, but… I don't feel strongly about it.
Well, some git software and terminal emulators doesn't support or badly displays emojis, either because of encoding issues, or because of font issues, that's why I (and some gitmoji users) use emoji codes instead, which, for instance, are fully supported in Gitea (a self-hosted alternative to GitHub, like GitLab but 100% FLOSS).
Thanks
Is there something I can do to make it happen ? Thanks.
There’s a feature called “format-discussion-titles” I think which you can extend with this. As for GitHub Actions, I’m afraid that it might slow down the page when the log is long.
Oh, I really wanted to try doing it, but I just discovered you're using TypeScript and I really hate that thing, I'm truly sorry :cry:

@yakov116 I noticed, but the 2 example links are unchanged.
Emojis are the future. Not worth supporting the past here, sorry.
There are interfaces that renders unicode emojis badly especially in terminal emulators and native apps, that's why emoji codes are preferred.
I know, those should be fixed or replaced instead.
Agreed, but it's much more work than making GitHub render emoji codes. Additionally, emoji codes features cross-platform autocompletion, while autocompleting unicode emojis usually require specific software on each operating system.
