This is one of the cases where they've spent so long trying to solve.... a problem which wasn't a problem in the first place. Just let users tag the content with any character they want, and maybe limit it to 1 or 2 characters. Way simpler and way more user-friendly than trying to limit it to emojis.

  I am not sure of the correct terminology but AFAIK you should be able to limit to display characters, not unicode codepoints.

    The problem is calculating the number of display characters… It’s surprisingly difficult.
