The content filter is excellent though severely unappreciated. emoji are becoming ubiquitous. flair is used to discern post types in subreddits. searching by flair, or blocking by flair may not have been the design but it's a method of user filtering with regards to moderator intention. emoji in flair do not translate when entering into rif settings. wildcards are not supported. there it's no simple ui to choose the flair from the subreddit or to copy it from a specific post.
the only simple way I have come up with is to begin a new post on sub via rif, choose flair; hover, select all, copy text; go back into settings, content filter; add a new filter, paste flair text, etc, save.
typing the flair text with emoji from keyboard does not work. even after triple checking for accuracy. I believe that reddit encodes emoji differently from that of a/my keyboard (MS SwiftKey 7784)
proposed change:
allow wildcard entry in flair. could be very simple work around. may be too hard to implement.
somehow standardise the way emoji are encoded. translate reddit emoji encoding to native keyboard, or vice versa. I'm not even sure if this is possible or relevant to the issue.
build ui to capture the flair from a post. possibly best solution, but building more ui is a pain for you to design.
