Rendering GFM-documented emojis #27

Closed SomeWeekendReading closed 2 years ago

SomeWeekendReading commented 3 years ago

I'm using kramdown as the default markdown engine in a blog generated by Jekyll. For the most part, I'm sticking to Github-flavored Markdown (GFM) and that seems to be reasonable.

GFM advertises certain emojis as being available, but some experiments show that kramdown does not render them. In particular, I've been trying to use some flag icons for a blog post about language translation: 🇯🇵, 🇫🇷, 🇮🇳, 🇮🇹, 🇨🇳, 🇷🇺, 🇬🇷, 🇷🇴. They get rendered as text.

There's an example in a blog post here.

I realize emojis are pretty silly and may not be a priority.
