Using emoji markup vs actual unicode?

[astrochun]

I really like the support for emoji and have a general question.

Is there an advantage to using the markup over the emoji themselves:
For example :heavy_check_mark: vs ✔

I find that the markup extends my code beyond 79 characters. The latter seems to work but I wonder if there are certain terminals and file logging this would fail that rich addresses.

Thanks!

The emoji code is a convenience, but its fine to replace it with the actual character. No difference as far as Rich is concerned.

Thanks for the quick response.
