Please add emoji support to Gitbooks

[bhalothia]

We have created a book from our learning repository on DevOps.

Github repo: https://github.com/TheRemoteLab/awesome-learning
Gitbook: https://theremotelab.gitbooks.io/awesome-learning/content/

The emojis could not be loaded in the Gitbook. 😑

I tried looking but there's no issue opened/closed on emoji support. Please take it as an enhancement request.

I second this. I am exploring the possibility of migrating my wikis to GitBooks, but I make pretty heavy use of emojis in my documentation to draw attention to call-outs.

👍 I use emojis in my Gitbooks all the time, but the plugins currently out there do not work properly with the online reader or the exports.

Emoji characters show up for me in epub and mobi on Mac, but not in pdf. Instead, there's a wide white space:

versus epub in iBooks:

$100 bounty on this, if anyone's up for trying to implement it.

Specifically, raw emoji characters showing up in PDFs—either in the default emoji style of the platform, or always as apple emoji.
