How to escape emoji? about gemoji HOT 4 CLOSED

Ah yes, if you use actual <table> HTML tags, you would need to use <code>:star:</code> instead of backticks. But yes, you should go with Markdown table instead because they are easier to write and maintain. 😉

Hello @onmyway133. You should definitely be able to use backticks to escape emoji, like shown here:

emoji | alias | description
---|---|---
:star: | `:star:` | it's a star

This gets rendered as:

What result do you get instead?

Based on this post I was able to resolve this in my case by using the hex encoded character entity for zero-width space: ​ In my case the "8)" portion of "(7 & 8)" was being rendered as the "cool" emoji. Inserting a zero-width space between the "8" and the right parenthesis did the trick. Like this: "(7 & 8​)".

FWIW, this post mentions other characters that might also do the trick. See the comment by davidcondrey.

@mislav Hi, thanks for response. I get :star: (the actual star emoji inside backtick). I use table, tr, td, is that the reason?

I think I'll go with markdown table instead. Thanks 😄
