Actual behavior

If I put an emoji (like :apple:) into a task list item within the markdown editor it is simple ignored.

Expected behavior

I would expect that instead of :apple: the actual emoji 🍎 would be rendered.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Put a line like - [ ] :apple: or * [ ] :apple: into the markdown editor. After this line there should be an empty line. Otherwise even stranger things happen as shown in the screenshot.

Host Info

Using the official docker image.
