Certain Roblox Icons Resembling Emojis Are Censored in In-Game Chat, Titles, and Descriptions

Issue Description

Some Roblox icons resembling emojis are censored in in-game chat, experience titles, and descriptions. The icons are recognized as regular text in Studio but flagged as inappropriate in other contexts. Affected icons include:

  • :lady_beetle: Beetle
  • :blueberries: Blueberries
  • :hot_pepper: Bell Pepper
  • :tamale: Tamale
  • :package: Box
  • :roller_skate: Roller Skate

This inconsistency can confuse developers and players when creating or interacting with content.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Create a new experience in Roblox Studio.
  2. Add the affected icons to:
    • Experience title or description.
    • In-game chat using a script that inserts the icons into the chat messages.
  3. Publish the experience and test the icons in both the title/description and in-game chat.

Expected Behavior

Icons resembling standard emojis should not be censored in titles, descriptions, or in-game chat unless they explicitly violate Robloxโ€™s Community Standards.

Visual Aids:

-- Services
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

-- Function to send a message to the in-game chat
local function sendMessageToChat(message)
	if TextChatService then
		TextChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage(message)
	else
		warn("TextChatService.ChatInput is not enabled")
	end

Theyโ€™re not censored, but the symbol is missing which causes it to display this default logo symbol
