@pasoni Copying from the internal thread on the matter:

include a simplified repro of the issue (by capturing the glyph or something into a file and type/catting it back out)?

This bug report isn't very helpful without us being able to tell what you're printing to the screen. Installing kind, whatever it is, is a pretty big ask. 😄

Here are a couple of examples I found that didn't work:

  • U+1F5BC 🖼 (Framed Picture)
  • U+1F579 🕹️ (Joystick)

If you make the font size really large, it looks like it is actually showing the correct character, just very small, and then also followed by the replacement character . So maybe this is related to #900.

Thanks @j4james for digging up the codepoints. This does look like a /dupe of #900.
