I’m up-to-date but I still have this issue. I feel like the onus is a little more on WP than on SPO, but the only way I was able to resolve it was by removing the esc_url() from the function you changed, so:
$query_string = esc_url( remove_query_arg( array( 'orderby', 'order' ) ) ); becomes $query_string = remove_query_arg( array( 'orderby', 'order' ) );
There’s a whole bunch of escaping happening in the WP core, and I haven’t run into any issues from removing this. But I don’t know if it’s something that *everyone* would want to do — just a heads up for anybody dealing with this.
The issue I’m having is that WP is going in, finding, for example, a checkmark ✔ encoded as & # 1 0 0 0 4 ; — and then replacing that checkmark with this “emoji” image.
HOWEVER, GUYS: as a text glyph, CSS is used to color the checkmark green — but WP returns an image of a grey checkbox.
I do not like this change — but then, I feel like I disagree with everything WP does these days. Wish I could drop it.
I feel like we have our answer…
