Render emojis on GitLab Status Pages

Problem to solve

Emojis are frequently combined with or used alone to communicate information between parties. GitLab issues support emojis in the title and all markdown fields. GitLab issues can be published to a public URL and used as a status page for response teams to communicate with stakeholders during an IT outage. The status page needs to render emojis that are used in issue titles, descriptions, and comments.

Intended users

• Allison (Application Ops)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)

Further details

This work supports the direction of the Alert Management product category.

Proposal

Render GitLab emojis found in issue titles and all markdown fields on status pages.
