I’m trying to add emojis in the `client.en.yml` file. What I tried:

```
en:
  js:
	my_plugin:
	  likes:
		one: ":heart: <b>{{count}}</b>"
		other: ":heart: <b>{{count}}</b>"

```

But it just prints `:hearts: 5`.  
Is there a way to this this?  
Thank you 🙂

**EDIT** : I also tried to replace it with fontawesome

```
        other: "<i class='fa fa-heart'></i> <b>{{count}}</b>"

```

But it shows nothing

You need to run the unescape emoji on the client side. Not all strings that are passed to the client run through that method.
