URLs are converted into emojis

It's even worse in any DOI links on the fora, which is kinda funny, given that DOIs get shared quite enough under pandemic and other scientific articles ;-)
Apparently
D: produces a 
emoji, or even several others with other character combos (my favourite is d
rg), even if part of an URL string.I do really get the difficulty of complex regex rules, but maybe a simpler server rule that denies any emoji substitution in any detected URL might help? No idea how hard that would be, of course...
Alternatively, would it be feasible to add a checkbox in the editor to disable automatic emoji replacement?

Huh. I was researching this and discovered a tag I didn’t know about, try wrapping things in plain /plain
Not ideal but it’s a workaround. There doesn’t appear to be any other built in options.
From what I was able to research from my phone in a moving vehicle (don't worry I wasn't driving) the devs don't seem that interested in providing an option to disable emojis in a post.
I personally don't see the value in parsing something that's in the middle of a word.
That's a very handy tag! It even works to disable Markdown! *jumps for joy*

It's weirdly undocumented. I had no idea it even existed until I did this research.
Done!

And now it's been a long weekend and I'm going to bed. A lot of driving. Look at this lol
