Emoji not appearing without space

[david (David Taylor)]

We have some previous discussion on this here:

Automatically add a space before the emoji if the user is typing Chinese and uses emoji picker

We have a few options here: Allow 呵:t_rex: so is an emoji. The problem though is that it is very expensive to detect Chinese per https://github.com/alsotang/is-chinese/blob/master/ischinese.js so this would add a bunch of extra slowness to the MD engine. Fix it so autocomplete behaves consistently with the way the engine interprets it. Meaning 呵:t should not pop open an emoji window. @schungx suggestion where after autocomplete is done we insert a space prior to emoji if needed…
