Seeing the rendering here, suggests that it’s trying to be replaced with an emoji for some reason. (Why?!)
That said, for additional detail, we’re using the **Twitter** emoji set.

> Over on TDWTF, I’ve been using a bot to automatically replace Unicode emoji like slight_smile with Discourse emoji codes like smile; it’s useful when posting from mobile. @codinghorror suggests it could be made a Discourse feature; it never occurred to me before, but it does sound like it’d be useful. That way it could also work in PMs, which is something I haven’t got working in my bot yet.

Thanks. That’s informative, but unfortunately doesn’t resolve the problem of not rendering correctly if (apparently) you aren’t using the EmojiOne set.

I believe this was updated with the new emoji updates, as my table of unicode chars → emoji replacements grew. If people don’t like it we could remove it. What does everyone think?

@eviltrout I think the bug here is that we are not adding some space around things. So our replacer can leave you with broken markup, maybe add zero width space around emoji subs.
`test:registered: :registered:`
test:registered: ®

I definitely do not want the HTML entities replaced, e.g.
`™` → ™
`©` → ©
`®` → ®
The above should _not_ be using Emoji.. nor should raw unicode, let’s try raw:
`™ © ®` → ™ © ®
Yeah that’s not desired. Replacing infinitely scaleable typographical font vectors with emoji images is Not Cool™

Okay, I’ve fixed both issues. Emoji replacements beside words will now work, and I no longer replace “TM, Copyright or Registered” automatically.

Can you get away with a zero width space ?

I’m not sure if our emoji code supports that but this approach seems to work well enough.
