Review Request #8997 — Created June 5, 2017 and submitted
This makes use of a Markdown extension for rendering Emojis in text fields. Users can provide shortcodes (like `:smile:`), which will be turned into image references based on the EmojiOne index (a comprehensive, free Emoji library). Emojis can be used in any Markdown-capable text field. Currently, there's no support for Emojis in the summary field (which will require some additional changes) and there's no UI to help select Emojis. These will require separate pieces of work.
Tested various Emojis in text fields. Saw that they rendered correctly
in Markdown mode, with the right sizing. Also saw that they rendered
in the change descriptions' diff view for the text fields.
