auto-text-to-emoji is ridiculous and should be disabled

I often see something like this on these forums…

[PackageManagerUI] Error while getting product update details: Failed to parse response: Code 400 “The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request”
UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient:smile:one (UnityEditor.AsyncHTTPClient/State,int) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AsyncHTTPClient.cs:248)

That’s “: D” (with no space in the middle) automatically being converted to some grinning emoji. Is the emoji button in the toolbar not enough?

Yeah is really annoying. +1 to this

I also agree, it is not useful. It just converts something we don’t want to be converted into an emoji. Actually, if we want to insert an emoji, we can insert it manually, I think.

Same issue, I had to use the workaround of wrapping the text as code… Here are the different ways to paste so you can see the difference:

Just paste
from:(no-reply@unity3d.com) wish list sale
Emoji breaks readability, BAD

Paste as quote

Still Emoji, BAD

Paste as code

from:(no-reply@unity3d.com) wish list sale

Works, but overkill

Paste as inline code
from:(no-reply@unity3d.com) wish list sale
OK

Note: the opening tag is [ICODE]. The insertion button is just on the right of block code.
