:-p means "Sticking Tongue Out" not one-piece bathing suit #5055

On signal desktop when I type :-p it gives me a one-piece bathing suit, I expect a sticking tongue out emoji

Thanks for reporting. I've filed this.

Can confirm that this is incredibly annoying; it came with the emoji picker recently. The only workaround I've found is to add a space after the P (if you end a message with “:-P” and press enter to send it, without a space first, simply nothing happens).

Would be fixed by PR: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/pull/4942

I have a similar issue and I'm not sure if this is a related issue. Signal Desktop drove me crazy when searching for flags!

I wanted to write a french and italian flag. Naturally I typed :flag-it or flag-fr. But the autocompletion proposal is completely off the tracks and does not show even the direct hit. From a UX I came to the conclusion that this flag does not exist. But actually :flag-fr: (note the subsequent colon) is a 100% match and actually does resolve to the french flag, though the autocompletion does not display at it all.

I assume this is again the effect due to the hypen - character. So is this the same issue or should I file another bug?
