XD the google search string that finally helped me was "humanscanwinelves andrewds1021 emoji"...

First, I would like to say that after doing this, I think Discussions definitely needs a way to search by date. I had to do so much scrolling and "load more" to find this. Here are the relevant things to look at: So what is going on? Based on Special:RecentChanges, it looks like the wiki was converted to Discussions on September 1, 2020. Note the different dates on the replies above. The one with the replaced emoji is before the conversion while the one with the emoji is after. This implies that the issue is neither with the feature nor the viewer's device/browser but with Fandoms Forum-Discussions conversion script. '''This is very concerning to me because between the current and past versions of the script, Fandom has already converted a ton of wikis. That means, more likely than not, the majority of conversions have this issue.''' The last lines were bolded by me. What did you mean by mentioning versions of the script and the "majority of conversions"?
