I’ve recently gotten accustomed to inserting emojis via keyboard and I noticed that the emojis will remain the inserted set rather than be converted to the set selected in the Discourse settings.

I’m used to Twitter converting the emoji to their set on the web version. (On the app it keeps them uniformly Apple emoji.) I’m in favor of consistency, so I’d like to see them all match whatever set is chosen in your settings.

> Over on TDWTF, I’ve been using a bot to automatically replace Unicode emoji like slight_smile with Discourse emoji codes like smile; it’s useful when posting from mobile. @codinghorror suggests it could be made a Discourse feature; it never occurred to me before, but it does sound like it’d be useful. That way it could also work in PMs, which is something I haven’t got working in my bot yet.
