Someone just created an account with an emogi in their name

What would get tricky is someone having the emoji (unicode) at the beginning of their first or last name.  Trying to search for a sunflower without knowing the unicode, or knowing that you need to search for it, could prove costly.

With them displaying that kind of adventurous spirit, you may want to keep an eye on that person for future volunteering or employment at the church

Their name happened to come up in a report grid module from a custom query, and the emoji is still there. Well, it looks fine on the page in Arena. It lost it and turned into code when I exported to excel ...no surprise.

But, I'm having one of those moments when you start thinking about the potential of this new found thing. I've used images of colored flags and tiny icons in report grids before to help highlight, identify, and summarize data. Looks like you could use emojis in some of those places. Hmmm.

After a few quick tests, it looks like you can use &#x1F followed by the rest of the emoji code after the 1F in HTML to display the emoji. For example:

CASE WHEN flower=1 THEN '&#x1F33B' ELSE '' END AS flower_when_needed

I am probably more excited about this than what should be normal. But, it's the little things.
