> PrettyText.markdown("heartheartheart", {}) Will not generate the same code as: PrettyText.markdown("heart:heart::heart:", {}) It generates: =\> "\<p\>\<img src=\"/images/emoji/apple/heart.png?v=5\" title=\"heart\" class=\"emoji\" alt=\"heart\"\>️heart️heart️\</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 )
