Hi @penguineer - I was not able to replicate this issue. I'm wondering if it was resolved via a macOS update for their clipboard. Is this still issue for you? If no, could you close this issue as resolved? If yes, could you provide more information on your OS/browser? Thanks! (cc @queenofcorgis) |

Thank you for checking in on this issue! Apparently it changed to providing the UTF-8 character for this emoji, even when I used the notation in colons (see penguineer/cleanURI-apigateway#17 for example). This is IMHO worse, because what I get from copy/paste is even further from the original content. (A quick test showed that not all tools, such as the terminal, support all emojis.) The Gitmoji hype is over, I think, but even so it would be nice if copying PR titles or commit messages would result in exactly what was in the data. |

We have the nice feature to put an emoji like ✨ by simply typing
:sparkles:
:)With conventions like gitmoji etc it has become common to use these in Commit messages and titles for PRs.
I stumbled over one thing when using these: If I copy a commit message with such emoji, I get the name as text. However, if I post this, I have to add all the colons (
:
) manually. It would be nice if these were part of the image alt names, so that the copied text would itself look the same when I paste it somewhere else.What I see in the commit message:
What I get in my clipboard, when I copy this message:
What I would like to see:
So when I copy ✨ , the resulting text in my clipboard is
:sparkles:
and notsparkles
, as it is now.(Not sure if this is the best place for a feature request to GitHub, but I did not find anywhere else.)
