Curious if there was any reasoning why emoji can’t be inserted into topic titles. I’m sure it could be abused - but so could emoji use in general 😜 😁 😱 😉 Additionally could use it to designate topic features: > [@file\_folder Attachment icon for topics with attachments?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/attachment-icon-for-topics-with-attachments-file-folder/16176): > > I just realized that my users can’t tell which posts might have cool sample files to download. what are some ways I could mark a topic with this icon? (the download one) thanks! Possibly a feature limited by trust level. ---

I think it’s more of a “late to the party” situation. No real reason why they aren’t allowed there, and you can still use the Unicode versions (they’ll only show up in color on mobile + Mac, though). ---

Well in that case, I’m officially requesting the feature ✨ Think it will add some style 🎩 and functionality ✅ to topics 💬 ---

Your 🎩 and ✅ are another man’s ⏰ 🔊 … This should definitely be disableable or restrictable to staff and/or minimum TL. ---

Exactly, but it _might_ be a useful feature for community managers to direct attention to interesting topics that scales differently than pinning. ---

Yeah I think it’s worth considering, but only for certain trust levels. Probably TL2 and higher. ---

Just added this feature. It’s not restricted yet. Let’s see if users indeed abuse it before adding more code 😉 [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2d03163be0db145c3f4a41db95ce845c32651856](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2d03163be0db145c3f4a41db95ce845c32651856) ---

It isn’t a separate site setting to permit them in Topic Titles (which is fine, just making sure I understand the git commit changes). 😄 ---

One tweak we should maybe make @zogstrip: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/4/64d096482e9c372f7dfea9563d62ea8c028f16ac.png) Titles could be converted into unicode emoji, at least for the browser. Low pri of course..
