I tried posting the following:

> That’s Japanese. 😉
> 
> Funny bug though.

Then I got a popup saying the post might contain code. I was curious, so I clicked the “Fix Code” button, but nothing actually happened. It’s not like the post even has anything resembling code anyway. So something seems a bit off on this.

(In fact, trying to post this topic made the same popup appear.)

Thanks @seanblue, we made a couple of tweaks based on this feedback. Emojis are now ignored:

[https://github.com/discourse/unformatted-code-detector/commit/a7fba3930258b24a8704e46dc5522e1e97fb5837](https://github.com/discourse/unformatted-code-detector/commit/a7fba3930258b24a8704e46dc5522e1e97fb5837)

And we also changed the “Fix Code” button to say “Edit Post”. The idea is that you should go back and manually fix your post - it will never be fixed automatically.
