Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/653

I have a few headers that end in GitHub Emoji, eg.:

# Known Issues :bug:

Which GitHub renders as:

Known Issues 🐛

However, MD026 is "fixing" this as:

# Known Issues :bug, which is not an actual fix, since it renders as:

Known Issues :bug

GitHub emoji are not part of the CommonMark specification. If you used a markdown-it plugin that recognized them, I think this issue would not get flagged.

Thanks, and sorry for the dupe. I had searched for MD026 and didn't find anything
