Is this the emoji you're looking for?

For: DATA CENTER SERVER

Introducing emoji autocomplete – a feature that predicts the emoji you're searching when you type its name or shortcut into the editor. Activate the autocomplete menu by typing a ":" into the editor, and discover new emojis to personalize your pages, blog posts, and comments. It's that easy!

See Symbols, emojis and special characters for the latest updates.
