Hello! The Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) flag emoji (e.g., `🇨🇮` [preformatted], :côte_d_ivoire: [normal]) is not showing up right on my hosted Discourse forum site. I’m on a Mac and I’ve put the emoji via the the mac emoji picker pop-up (I press `fn` to bring this up). It renders right when it is in the composer before posting: ![Screenshot of flag rendered in composer](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/1/8/f180afed04ebc6d92b0a946c5e535fd62cf107fb.png) But once posted, it renders as text that looks like the correct emoji shortcode syntax: ![Screenshot of flag not rendered](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/5/3/f/53fcad25882e97ea6831a43e385f33899ed22520.png) I tried messing with the emoji short code (`:ivory_coast:` and using different unicode options for circumflex on the “o” of “côte\_d\_ivoire”), but it didn’t fix things. Curious if this issue will show up here on meta when I post this… UPDATE: I see that the issue doesn’t occur here on Meta. I have tried typing the `:côte_d_ivoire:` elsewhere in my text so that it’s not next to another emoji short code and I still get the same issue. Note that I myself have not typed in the emoji shortcode. It’s converted automatically by my Discourse install once I input the emoji itself. This doesn’t occur here on Meta. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cote-divoire-flag-emoji-not-rendering/370017)._
