Element-web: The :train: emoji is actually a tram.

[Half-Shot]

This caused a lot of disruption when I said I was taking a 🚋 to the office.

EDIT: The proof is here https://emojipedia.org/tram-car/

Steps to reproduce

• Type :train: into the composer.

An emoji of a tram (🚋) shows up next to the text :train:.

Version information

• Platform: web (in-browser)

For the web app:

• URL: riot.im/develop

I'm tempted to make a P6 label just for this bug 😄

More seriously, I don't know where we get our :word: -> emoji mapping, but Github (as the first example to hand) _also_ thinks that 🚋 is a :train:. As does Android.

Pretty sure it comes from the shortnames in here: https://github.com/emojione/emojione/blob/v2.2.7/emoji.json

And :hamburger: stills shows a cheeseburger 🙈

This is obviously a serious issue, see this.

Please upgrade to p1, thanks 👌

I still think about this issue :thinking:

We're taking out emojione (https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/9281), so this will shortly become a problem for your operating system vendor.

Hold up, the problem was because the mapping of :train: became :tram:. Does removing emojiOne actually fix the mapping issue. Also 99% certain my OS won't be mapping.

[turt2live]

Removing emojione does help in that we get to more easily define our own mappings, so I think it would eventually. I'd prefer to keep this closed though until emojione is removed and in front of users though: an issue this small is not really worth the anxiety caused by looking at the issue list, and it is likely more suited as a 30 second PR.

Just adding a note here that emojibase does seem to correctly call 🚆 a :train:
