Issue Details

The template used by the external article view is unable to render emojis inserted from the emoji selector on the publishing toolbar in Classic Studio. If the emoji is inserted from an emoji selector on the user's operating system, or copy and pasted from another source, then the emoji displays as expected in the external article view.
