title: How to neglect emojis when posting messages to slack using slack api?
body: <p>I have a slack POST api call which I am doing from my application:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel, text=response, as_user=False, username="Slack bot")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue which I am encountering is that the response may contain error logs and can have text like</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in /:hive:/SomeError....</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>When this gets posted to slack, it thinks of :hive: as an emoji and prints emoji of hive instead of :hive:, which I don't want. </p>
  
  <p>How to do this? I have tried putting mrkdwn as false, but it didn't help. Can someone help me out here?</p>
