Will πŸ„½ survive being pasted?

  • Normalisation. No. Anything that applies NFKC β€” search indexes, usernames, domain names, programming identifiers β€” rewrites πŸ„½ as N. Safe for display, not for storage.
  • Legacy encodings. πŸ„½ 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 β€” SMS, bios, some form validators β€” usually count bytes, not characters.
