I think we can make two changes to make this a little bit easier to use:

- Emoji selector should insert a leading ~~and trailing~~ whitespace when it inserts an emoji.
- Replacing of Unicode emojis should work even when there are no surrounding whitespaces.  
So, `Hello🙂world` should work the same as `Hello 🙂 world` and use the correct Emoji image from Discourse 🙂.
