Hello,

attempt to use Asciidoc plugin with emojis (Nikola v8.0.1) results in:

Write your post here. {{% emoji smiling_face_with_open_mouth %}}

Any hint? (I've tried with YAML meta and it is the same.)

Considering that Asciidoc has begun process of creating specification it becomes more attractive markup option than to fiddle with different markdown 'standards'...

Sadly I can't take a look at this currently because on OSX asciidoc is broken via brew:

Error: Calling needs :cxx11 is disabled! There is no replacement.
Please report this to the caskformula/caskformula tap:
  /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskformula/homebrew-caskformula/Formula/inkscape.rb:49

and I plan on spending no time working on fixing that. If I ever have some time on my personal linux computer instrad of my work's osx one I will take a look.
