Developers of discourse: even our emoji domain link doesn’t work automatically. For example, the peace sign domain should automatically link to ☮.com (“xn – v4h”) but it doesn’t. It goes to http://☮️.com/ (“xn – v4h2700f”) which is wrong.
Luckily there doesn’t seem to be emoji root domains, or my ignore-emojis-at-end-of-title trick will not work.
Let us know when you own mydomain.

I may have misunderstood the original request but disabling emojis would be a bad idea since emojis are part of mobile and increasingly so every day. See iPhone X.
I think you have misunderstand.
This is not about disallowing emoji in titles. This is about not including the emoji in the slug on the URL.
The idea is that the emoji name clutters the slug and may harm SEO. On the other side, there are perfectly legit uses of emoji as part of the meaning, so they can’t simply be all filtered out.
A similar idea to filtering common words (like a, the, of) from the slug.

So 
.to/
won’t work?
Ok, emoji words are now stripped from slugs, as this makes more sense for all languages.
