emoji not being printed/rendered

[Masber]

Context

I am learning material mkdocs and trying to create a document with an emoji.
https://github.com/eth-cscs/manta/blob/docs/docs/basics.md?plain=1#L17

When I open this md file in browser in github, I can see the emoji https://github.com/eth-cscs/manta/blob/docs/docs/basics.md

https://github.com/eth-cscs/manta/blob/docs/docs/basics.md#set-boot-image

However, the emoji is not rendered when opening the static document rendered by material mkdocs

https://eth-cscs.github.io/manta/basics/

Any idea why?

Converting to discussion, as this is definitely not a bug.

Hello @Masber,
GitHub provides their own rendering of icons, but to render icons when building mkdocs-material you have to enable the proper markdown_extensions, as per the instructions on the page.

https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/icons-emojis/#configuration

markdown_extensions:
  - attr_list
  - pymdownx.emoji:
      emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji
      emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg

Example in a config file:

mkdocs-material/mkdocs.yml

Lines 143 to 145 in f4db9de

	- pymdownx.emoji:
	emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg
	emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji
