I have some Hugo content with an Emoji in it. The emoji renders fine locally, but once deployed in AWS Amplify the emoji doesn’t show up. Any ideas?

Here’s some example content that leads to the same issue.

Fixed it! I needed to set the charset

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>AI Sorting Hat .com</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
```
