Any plan to support color emoji in editor/result view?

Some editor, like VS Code, already support this cool stuff, wondering is it possible to make it happen in LINQPad?

LINQPad uses a third-party editor which doesn't support color emojis, so this is unlikely to happen.

AFAK WPF based Actipro SyntaxEditor support emoji, so... I believe there is some possibilities😂.

Another question is can we make the result panel display color emoji? Yes it's Internet Explorer 11 based. Maybe we need to switch to Microsoft Edge engine or Chromium engine😂.

Note: the following issue is also related(maybe a bug in WinForm APS SyntaxEditor):

Last time I tested the integrated Edge browser, it was way too feature-poor and unreliable. I'll try it again, but I doubt things have changed. The integrated IE engine is actually pretty robust.

This will work right now:

void Main()
{
	"This contains an 😃 emjoji".WithEmoji().Dump();
}

static class Extensions
{
	public static object WithEmoji (this string s) => Util.WithStyle (s, "font-family: Segoe UI Emoji");
}
