I typed the golf flag in the subject line using macOS Cmd+Ctrl+Space shortcut to bring up the character picker. [14] Notice how the emoji has an extra unicode character square after it? If I type the same subject line on iOS there is no extra character after the golf flag. Thoughts?

However, I copied the end of the title string: irb(main):005:0> "⛳️".codepoints => [9971, 65039] 65039 is https://codepoints.net/U+FE0F which I believe shouldn’t be here. If I copy the emoji from https://emojipedia.org/flag-in-hole/ and add it to the end of the title, save, and then edit and copy…

Might just be older versions of OSX? I’m on High Sierra and I see [32%20PM]

I can’t reproduce, also on sierra.

Now I’m seeing this: [22] I’m on High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C205) with Safari 11.0.2 (13604.4.7.1.6) Interestingly I don’t see the block character using Chrome.

I’ve reported this bug to Apple, rdar://36800472 I does it in a blank plain text file, so it’s definitely a macOS problem. emoji.txt (6 Bytes) Thanks all

What should we see inside the emoji.txt ? I have the issue with Safari too, but not with TextEdit. [42]
