Repro:
- Send or receive: <-note that some of these emoji are multi-character.
- Copy those emoji to clipboard.
- Paste those emoji.
Expected:
Observed: (only the first character of each emoji is preserved)
I think we're copying to the clipboard as the "name" of the emoji (e.g. ":ok_hand:"), not the emoji itself.
