Looks like I can escape it with /plain or /html but still - having common letters automatically transformed into an emoji is probably not a good idea.

This would be because you've enabled the "Automatically replace plain text emoji" option

[jthomas281]

Thanks, it is enabled though I don't recall having ever enabled it. Turned it off. Nevertheless, my point still stands. XP is a more common sequence for an abbreviation than an emoji (which I almost never see anyone use) and I don't think it should be automatically converted or there should be an option to "undo" any emoji conversion (perhaps with a backspace).

[robintown]

Make sense, I've turned this into an issue to allow undoing/ignoring the suggestion.

Duplicate #19472

[robintown]

I don't think this is a duplicate, the only proposed solution at #19472 is to not do the conversion unless there's a space before the emoticon, but that would still leave "Windows XP" converted to "Windows 😝" with no way to avoid/undo that
