Hi. It would be so useful if we could at least use emojis from unicode 6.0 - we use mattermost as main communication tool and have many channels. Using emojis in names allows for a much easier visual recognition. But there aren't that much of them up to 5.2 unicode. Please, include unicode 6.0 emojis at least!

Can you provide a working example of an emoji that works? What would I actually type into the Channel Rename dialog? Even :) didn't render as an image.

We wanna put a dancing parrot in our channel's name, because represents our effort and joy for our work and it take me down not having it all the time dancing to encourage me, it feels really bad

well, you can but only with emojis from unicode 1.1 to 5.2... More recent emojis aren't accepted and THAT'S A SHAME !
