I notice that some emojis sometimes appear in topicsā€™ titles, and sometimes donā€™t.

image

I often use Windowsā€™s native emoji selector instead of other software built-in solutions, so my guess is that the issues come from that. The first title in my screenshot is my topic and I suppose it uses the unicodeā€™s emoji character.

edit: well, itā€™s off-topic anyway, and this isnā€™t specific to the yearly review plugin either. :upside_down_face:

So, to get back to the topicā€¦ @JimPas! Youā€™re still far ahead of us with your likes, but tell meā€¦ What was your secret back in 2019?

That was an unbelievable score :smile:
