Don't Convert Textmoji to Emoji

I often like to use pure text and symbols over emojis. So, :) rather than :slight_smile: but the former is automatically coverted to the latter. I’ve tried \:) but that still gets me the emoji.

I read this can be changed from admin side, can we have this changed?

Its a site-wide setting unfortunately, disabling would turn off everyone auto convert emoji. This feature was requested at Discourse but had low votes:

  • Team Textmoji : )
  • Team Auto Emojis :slight_smile:
  • Idk
