Emoji are missing in pinned topic excerpts and category descriptions.

Agreed. It would be nice to have these … but maybe smaller and de-saturated to black-and-white with CSS so they don’t stick out too much?

This has been [brought up before](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emoji-not-showing-properly-on-the-category-description-area/23977), but maybe now that [Emoji is supported elsewhere](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emojis-arent-displayed-in-title-when-searching/32587/2), the tides have turned?

If they’re not showing by design maybe it would be an improvement to not show them at all instead of showing the textual version.
