Continuing the discussion from Discourse Reactions :
In the screenshot below, we can see that the default icon for reactions is missing in the first post. The button is there and active (we can react ) and the reactions will show, as in the second post.

Settings:
icon heart-pulse
for like icon

desaturated reaction panels

</script>

Indeed, @Lilly ’s workaround works fine:
I hope the UI vs. emojis vs. SVGs discrepancies will be solved soon.
Thank you @Moin !
