Full Emoji support in filenames
This idea needs no explanation. The issue was raised 8 years ago in 2017 and the idea was raised in 2023 and closed in 2025.

I use Dropbox to sync my Obsidian database (which is just a bunch of Markdown files)
I just discovered that "Bookshelf 📚.md" is not syncing (I'm on macOS 15.5 and sync with Android and iPadOS)
I'd like to use Obsidian freely and emojis are really helpful in naming my pages.
Im sure there are a ton of other use cases that can leverage full emoji support.
Creating a new idea so the idea can continue to work towards implementation.
I realize this is a thorny issue and implementation may be difficult.
I feel just because it's difficult doesn't close the "idea" of it being implemented. The whole point of conversation and discussion is to keep speculating on new paths to making it happen!
