Will ๐ฉ survive being pasted?
- Normalisation. Yes. ๐ฉ is unchanged by NFKC, so it survives normalising systems intact.
- Legacy encodings. ๐ฉ sits above U+FFFF, so it needs a surrogate pair in UTF-16. Software that counts characters by code unit will report it as two.
- Size. 4 bytes in UTF-8. Character-limited fields โ SMS, bios, some form validators โ usually count bytes, not characters.
Unicode cross-references
