Can emojis be part of a DataView query

Help

Hello all,

What I’m trying to do

I am new to creating DataView queries. I would like to know, if it is possible to do a query where either an emoji is part of the WHERE condition or where it is the only contents of this condition…

Could for example be such a line be used?

:triangular_flag_on_post:text:: something

or this one?

:triangular_flag_on_post::: something

Things I have tried

I had a look into the beginner’s guide Dataview in Obsidian: A Beginner's Guide - Obsidian Rocks which helped to create some basic queries. But I did not find an answer to my question above.

Thanks for some helpful advice.
Best, Wolfgang
