Yes it comes from the Mastodon API (with the HTML messages...). :/ When using the JSON (or YAML) output the object is dumped as-is.
See also https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/717 (I hesitate to open a new bug report specifically for the API output)
@bortzmeyer I think it's been fixed in Mastodon 1.5... Or did I misread the changelog (I haven't tested yet)?
Yes, it seems better now. I can see the nice characters on this page (automatically produced from toots retrieved with madonctl) https://mercredifiction.bortzmeyer.org/mercredifiction-dernier.html
OK, thanks, I'll close this issue then.
The JSON output of madonctl includes emoji sequences (colon cherry_blossom colon) instead of the Unicode character (in that case, U+1F338). It's really annoying because it prevents to use this output directly, one need to replace all these sequences with characters.
I don't know if this choice comes from madonctl or from Mastodon but is is a bad choice. Please send normal Unicode characters instead of these sequences.
Example (in the display name):
