Hm. I still don’t understand the problem after having read the topic.

If I choose “🎥movie” then I’m able to search and assign the tag via UI.

So it seems that emojis are stripped in searches and a pure emoji string therefore is not a valid search term?

My conjecture is that the translation of emojis into their Markdown equivalent is also a contributing factor.

Are there any downsides to use emojis in tag names, which would favor emoji-free tag names decorated with [Tag Icons](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tag-icons/109757) in the UI?
