Automatic filenames contain emojis

• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Notable Version: 1.5.1

Current behavior

Filenames contain emojis that are used in the title. While this looks quite interesting, especially in a terminal, it is rather hard to access files this way when they start with an emoji... 😅

Furthermore, it seems dropbox is unable to sync files containing emojis in their path except the keyboard emoji.

Expected behavior

Emojis should be omitted from filenames if possible.

Emojis should be omitted from filenames if possible.

IMHO the only characters that should be omitted from titles are disallowed characters under commonly used file systems (✅) and characters used for Markdown formatting (✅), since Markdown isn't rendered in titles/filenames.

Emoji fall under neither of those categories (we are actually rendering things like :joy: to the actual corresponding emoji for consistency though), so I don't think they should be removed.

It will become easier once we have a CLI #667, but you can also fix that today by searching for your notes via something like fzf (highly recommended).

Furthermore, it seems dropbox is unable to sync files containing emojis in their path except the keyboard emoji.

This sounds weird to me, I don't see why they would make an exception for the keyboard emoji 🤨 Plus if they are unable to synchronize those kinds of files IMHO the problem is on their side.
