I just realized that my users canโ€™t tell which posts might have cool sample files to download.

what are some ways I could mark a topic with this icon? (the download one)

thanks!

I was hoping we could use an emoji like :file_folder: in the topic title, but that doesnโ€™t seem to be possible

any other tricks out there to an Attachment icon?

I like that idea of knowing if there are attachment available :slight_smile:

@gerhard showed me the trick of finding an acceptable unicode character like โ–ผ which could be copied and pasted into the subject.

itโ€™s not as good as Emoji support in the Subject line, but itโ€™s better than nothing.

You didnโ€™t link to the โ€œtrickโ€

Let me guess, FontAwesome?

U+047E โ€œcyrillic capital letter otโ€ ัพ would make a great glyph for โ€œNSFWโ€ topicsโ€ฆ :grin:

Unicode has granted us a whole new category of emoticons:

How about this for new feature announcements: (๏พ‰โ—•ใƒฎโ—•)๏พ‰*:๏ฝฅ๏พŸโœง

no link neededโ€ฆ just find an acceptable unicode character and copy & paste it into the subject line.

Iโ€™d wanted to use this folder :file_folder:, but it wouldnโ€™t show in the subject line on Chrome on my mac (only safari). It does show for me here in the bodyโ€ฆ but troubleshooting that is secondary to getting the emojione working in the subject line IMO.

Fixed in [Any technical or philosophical reason no emoji in titles :question: !

Thank you Team Discourse!

Sort of, I kind of want a general mechanism for attaching icons to a topic plugins can lean on, it was rather tricky to wire in for solved plugin.

Sureโ€ฆ it would be great to have a more automatic, more official version. The posts in our forum where Iโ€™ve added :file_folder: in the title do look a bit nicer now.

It would be nice if this icon was the same darkness/contrast/color as the rest of the text, so as to not be too distracting as the user scans the page. (Like the emoji is.)

You can always add some CSS to tackle thisโ€ฆ

This would impact all emoji in titles:

.topic-link img.emoji,
.topic-list-item img.emoji {
  -webkit-filter: grayscale(80%);
  filter: grayscale(80%);
}

And this would target just :file_folder: :

.topic-link img.emoji[title="file_folder"],
.topic-list-item img.emoji[title="file_folder"] {
  -webkit-filter: grayscale(80%);
  filter: grayscale(80%);
}

Making it look something like this:
