 When using emoji in a place that generates a slug (category name, post
 title, etc), if the emoji is saved to the database as HTML entities, it
 will fail to display in the UI.

 Example: Save a draft/publish with post title is "WordPress
 {sparkling_heart emoji} Emoji".
 URL/slug will be "wordpress-%f0%9f%92-emoji"
 On post.php, the slug will not display: https://cloudup.com/cASF4rxUNhF

 Second example: Save a new category with the name being an emoji.
 Slug is saved to the db in the HTML entity format ("%f0%9f%92").
 On edit-terms.php, no slug will be displayed.
