What is up with the emoji picker on this forum?

Xoph

This is obvious nit-picking as I am here for Solus and the community not the forum software, but the emoji picker is not an emoji picker at all. It just shows letters when clicking. Then even when manually typing it doesn't seem to conform to many standard emotion codes.

They are emoji's. Just not ones most people want to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_indicator_symbol

🤷‍♂️ = :man_shrugging which is standard. https://emojipedia.org/man-shrugging and can be accessed without typing the whole thing :shrug for example will narrow down the selection.

So it works you just need to learn how to use it or press ctrl + . or super key + . to launch alternative emoji picker (works in Plasma)

Ultimately we do not developer flarum so there is no actionable feedback.

We just installed an extension to replace it with a more familiar emoji picker.

Those are custom emoji's Evan added so they may not integrate properly with the old emoji picker. There are two now. The original for the old way of getting emojis and the new way used by clicking the insert emoji button.
