Our renderers intentionally ignore existing links for modifying text so you would need to just use the real character you want instead of an alias. If it is something being created through an issue/wiki editor on our site it should give a dropdown menu to insert the real character if typing out an alias.

Pushed that repo to GH, it seems they do render emoji tokens in links. Otherwise, output seems to match ours:
