Description

The /poll widget displays the emoji text, not the emoji image. In preview mode: image result in: image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how emojis are rendered in the poll widget, compare with other widgets that display emojis correctly (e.g., message rendering). Look at the emoji handling code in the web frontend, possibly in zulip/js/emoji.js or related components. Check if the poll widget uses a different rendering method that escapes or fails to convert emoji shortcodes to images.
