Description
Description:
See on the attached screenshot that R is being used instead of the green checkmark image when the message is being replied/quoted.

This is an example of the message object:
{
"username": "Status Update [Bot]",
"icon_url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Checkmark.svg",
"text": "Example message"
}
