Steps to reproduce:

1. Bookmark an #official plugin or theme component (It works with some non-official ones too)
2. Visit [https://meta.discourse.org/my/activity/bookmarks](https://meta.discourse.org/my/activity/bookmarks)

I think small emojis would fit better.

Just a bump on this as its still present now.

@renato I was about to apply a CSS fix but those emoji’s actually get a class `only-emoji` they should not have.

I’ve found this from 5y ago

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/948bd00340d12fdd68aec06fee8eccd21d35b7e9](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/948bd00340d12fdd68aec06fee8eccd21d35b7e9)

But with the recent changes with prosemirror, I _think_ things may have changed?

Anyway, would prefer to properly fix it instead of applying a CSS bandaid.

This isn’t to do with the editor, it’s to do with the post excerpts. For this list we use:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/853b60080c0eaea3c347e8d707ca3a8460053519/app/serializers/post_item_excerpt.rb#L12-L15>

And because the OP of these theme topics have tables, those get stripped out, and we end up with this kind of thing:

```plaintext

Wow topic

```

So technically the `only-emoji` is correct here, but practicallly it’s wrong. I think this could be fairly tricky to fix…maybe we need a `no_big_emoji` option for `PrettyText.cook`…but IDK for sure.
