I understand why it would be blocked in roblox itself, but isn’t this forum is 13+? There is no reason why it should be blocked.

Maybe it’s only blocked when trying to make a topic?

Yeah because the emoji keyboard gives you the actual unicode character. Discourse converts it from :name: to the actual emoji when rendered.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
