appears to work for me

emojiname

The hover text only appears in the emoji-dialog but not in toots.

The apple emoji is renders in html as:
~~
馃崕
~
~

adding the title=":apple:" attribute would make it behave like in the emoji-dialog.

This is also an accessibility issue. Every image should have an alternative text.

We may use something like alt = emojione.toShort(unicode) in https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/components/emoji.jsx#L16
