Emojis not rendering in .mdx or .md files

What You Are Seeing?

In .mdx or .md files, emojis are not rendering when using the shorthand syntax, like :floppy_disk:.

What is Expected?

These emojis should be rendered to the emoji and not plain text.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

1. Go to https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/central-management/usage/website/groups/
2. Search for :floppy_disk: on the page. This should be an emoji, not text.

After some discussion, it has been decided that instead of fixing the issue above, we will either:

1. Remove the emoji entirely or
2. Replace the emoji with an accessible form of a Font Awesome icon.
3. Update the README or design system stating the we will not be using emojis going forward.

A lot of times, emojis are not even needed, and they can become inaccessible to screen readers or interpreted differently to different users.

You could use unicode emojis as well 💾. I volunteer to take care of this issue in case you don't have one yet :)
