Emoji markdown support in Tasks

It would be helpful for my workflow if emoji markdown was available in tasks just as it is in normal note text. Has this already been discussed and I just can't find it?

No, can’t remember that markdown emojis for tasks were discussed. I hadn’t noticed it was absent in tasks - you are right, in Tasks is doesn’t work.

Same issue and workaround as in note titles: you can create them in the main note text and then cut/paste them into the task or title. It's a minor annoyance, but one I'd hoped wouldn't carry over into new functions.

A second workaround is to insert them right away - simple on a mobile, on a desktop you need an emoji selection.

Right. I usually only use markdown on the desktop, so mobile wasn't a consideration for me. But you're right, it's helpful to remember that Windows (and presumably other OSs) have emoji selection/keyboard options. I usually forget about that.

MacOS has it as well, and to call it a global keyboard shortcut: ctrl-cmd-space

Yep, Windows has the Win-period shortcut. But I only learned that a few months back and haven't internalized it yet 😀
