Forum bug: cannot quote forum emoji in reply

Test  Test

Attempting to reply to the above comment with a quote that includes the emoji results in the following preview and error message (on pressing Reply):

I'll also note that if you try to print a forum page (e.g. to save to PDF), emojis are similarly rendered in huge size.

If someone looks at this, I think following 2 issues are worth to mention as well (my experiences are based on firefox on windows):

1) Many times code blocks can't be added (it fails with an error) although the same text can be inserted directly into a post - this of course has the side effect that people can't post the code examples in a way that they are readable...

2) it's not possible to copy text from code blocks - if I select a text inside a code block and copy it and try to insert it in my texteditor or somewhere else, I always only past one single sign (SOH in notepad++ for example which stands for Start of Header - First character of a message header)

I can copy text from a code block, but only on desktop, not mobile (iOS).

Also, the "fullscreen" mode of a code block only works on desktop, which is an issue if you want to even see lines over a certain length on mobile.

This means that if we post app settings (for example) or a js bookmarklet in the forum, they might be unusable for mobile users.

Overall the UX for code blocks is very poor. (Why do we need a full-screen mode in the first place? Long lines should either wrap or scroll, and code with lots of rows should scroll. I dislike the idea of the code editor and especially the code viewer being a separate "control" or "mode" in order to be utilized fully.)

It would also be nice if markdown-style syntax were allowed, so we could enter code blocks with ``` and inline code with `. (I'm sure this part will never happen)

I already realised that you would like to have markdown support, I quite often see you writing *something* like this. I do this as well, but do always correct this... Would be a nice feature though

Sure, I mean, writing *this* to mean bold is common enough (I think) that hopefully it means something to most people (especially in contexts where you only have plain text.) I've also seen people use ~this~ for emphasis.

But yeah, I do want Markdown support haha, especially the feature where you have both code blocks and inline code. Sometimes you want to paste in really short fragments of code inline with other text.

I just want something that has the (dev-friendly) UX of most Markdown editors. Even after Slack switched to rich editing, they retained the markdown-style syntax which is ubiquitous for sites and apps targetting devs or tech-savvy ppl (github, slack, JIRA, stackoverflow, reddit, etc.)

As those examples show, markdown-style syntax can work either in a pure rich text editor or in an editor where you edit plain text source and use a preview function to see the rich text output(which is probably not what most people want.)
