Emojis selected on iOS displaying additional rectangles

@nibl

is this some kind of Unicode issue

I’m fairly certain it is, yes. And I’m thinking that Discourse vs. iOS emojis was a missing bit of information in this earlier topic

What is the problem with PrettyText.markdown call?

PrettyText.markdown("", {}) Will not generate the same code as: PrettyText.markdown(":heart::heart:", {}) It generates: => "<p><img src=\"/images/emoji/apple/heart.png?v=5\" title=\"\" class=\"emoji\" alt=\"\">️️️</p>" ( there are ':️' & ':', copy paste to https://www.soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chars.php to see it) I think it has something to do with replacement = "\u200b" + replacement; In lib/pretty_text/shims.js ( on 1.9.4 )
