Conversation
When creating posts with emoji in titles, the generated slug contains URL-encoded emoji characters causing potential SEO and compatibility issues. This fix strips emoji (Unicode range U+10000 to U+10FFFF) from slugs while preserving normal accented characters like café. Includes filter 'remove_emoji_from_slug' to allow backward compatibility.
