Hi all...

Apologies - this was an unintended side effect of a change to improve our post formatting.

We should have a fix for this in place shortly.

I'll follow up as soon as it's been released.

Thanks

Hi all..

This should now be fixed. Apologies about the disruption!

@FourIsNewSix That's mostly correct. In an effort to fix some formatting issues we've been having we tightened up our text processing. As a consequence of that, the emoji zero width joiner character was being stripped which removed the variant information from the emoji code.

This should all be fixed now, but as always please let us know if you see any issues!

Thanks
