Is it possible to display emojis in Category names like this?: :loudspeaker: Announcements :desktop_computer: Tech Support

One way to do this is to use the category’s url as a guideline. Here’s a very rough example: [href="/c/hosting"] .badge-category-bg { // remove default category color marker display: none !important; } [href="/c/hosting"] .badge-category:before { // add new font awesome icon in its place font-family: fontawesome; content: "\f1b9"; margin-right: 5px; } This would result in: [add icon to category] I have not tested this everywhere and it needs a lot more refinement but that’s the basic idea. The composer selecter has attributes added to category list items like data-name="hosting"

You could probably do some fancy CSS customization to achieve something similar.

Probably not inside the drop-downs as the list items are not styled with classes that can distinguish different categories. Nor in category lists.

i was just looking for this - as the MD-shortcode didn’t work in the category name field - so i tried copy’n’pasting a red heart :heart: into the category name and found out that discourse will gladly accept it as it would probably accept also :ringer_planet: saturn
