The last time we reported Google displaying emojis in the search results was in July 2016 - they are honestly rare to see because Google is typically good at removing them.

Well, now a search for [spam filter service] brings up a snippet from everycloudtech.com that shows the big green white check mark emojis. These guys ✅ ✅ ✅.. William Vicary spotted this.

Emojis Google Search Again

This was intentional, the meta description is where the webmaster embedded these emojis. The webmaster didn't do anything wrong, Google won't penalize for using emojis - they will just 'devalue' them (I mean strip them out).
