Summary
Standard emoji from Mattermost to Pidgin render as text, rather than emoji (though standard emoji from Pidgin to Mattermost render as emoji)
Note: This is not an important issue, just creating a ticket as an example of a useful way to file tickets--with clear repro steps and expected/observed.
Steps to reproduce
Post :smile: to a Mattermost channel where a Pidgin client is listening
Expected behavior
:smile: renders as standard emoji, e.g. 😄
Observed behavior
:smile: renders as :smile: instead of emoji
Possible fixes
Can the markdown library rendering links also render standard emoji?
