XF 2.2 Emoji in the node title...how do you remove it from URL? 🤔

[GenCommunity]

If there's an emoji in the board or thread title, how do you go about making sure that the emoji doesn't appear in the permalink URL?

If it's in the title then it will be in the URL.

You would have to remove it from the title.

Too bad there is no configurable regex rule for threads title like for usernames.

@AndyB created an add-on that filters emoji out of thread titles. It's not too difficult of a concept since you can filter based on the Unicode value.

I do think it should be a core feature, though. Many of us don't like having a forum displaying thread titles and usernames littered with emoji. (They should only be usable in message bodies, IMHO.)
