HTML Entities

[gerwitz]

I just want to show the tree glyph, not the emoji.

This requires using a Unicode variant. But I think this doesn't work because markdown-it is translating HTML entities into characters instead of passing them through.

Disabling the entity rule doesn't work, because then the ampersands get escaped.

There's a plugin but another dependency seems like overkill.

Brute force replacement might work: cmints/cmints#109 (comment)
