Thanks for filing.

I believe we're relying on the text wrapping that "comes with" Electron/Chromium, which probably doesn't do any special detection of emoticons like this. Are there other apps that do a better job with this?

[ProactiveServices]

None that I can think of immediately but I will keep an eye out for examples.

Signal for Android is one of the apps that do a better job.
