Comment:

 So I came across a WP function that converts emojis over to HTML encoding.

 We should be able to easily support emojis with this:

 `add_filter( 'bp_activity_content_before_save',       'wp_encode_emoji'
 );`

 `wp_encode_emoji()` only supports Unicode 7 emojis though, but that's
 better than nothing!  The function is only supported in WP 4.2+, so if we
 add this to the codebase, we'd have to do a conditional on the WP version.

 For now, I'm adding this back to the 2.5 milestone for some feedback.
