hmmm that is by design and a slightn bug. `❤️:phone:` and `a:phone:` and `ث‎:phone:` are all not meant to expand emoji. We only allow emoji expansion after a punctuation or space.

The autocomplete throws stuff off a bit and we should fix that. I don’t want to put lots of special case logic here for mixed emoji central.

I think if the emoji-image converter greedily grabs VS16 (as well as the force-not-emoji variation selector) it’ll solve the problem, because you’ll end up with a `</img>❤️` right?

What is the downside of keeping the Unicode emojis? (skip emoji escape)

From my test, it is OK.
