Shortcodes by platform
:lion::lion::lion:GitHub, Slack, and Discord all use the same :name: shortcode syntax for emoji. Apple, Google, and Microsoft use internal CLDR translation keys (e.g. face_with_tears_of_joy) and donβt expose user-facing shortcodes.
Outside TikTok the bracket code does not convert β these apps show the closest Unicode fallback instead.
