[chiragsalian]

Not related to web-e repo. Clearing deployblocker label.

[chiragsalian]

Not sure if this is blocker worthy. I cannot reproduce it.

Maybe the issue is only on windows as mentioned in the title. @stitesExpensify do you have any insight about this issue? if not i was going to mark it as external.

[chiragsalian]

Oh whoops i missed that it was already discussed here. Looks like we might be reverting the offending PR.

[mkhutornyi]

https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/43815 is the culprit

[mananjadhav]

I can't reproduce this. These are new Emojis that we added, but I am not sure what's the best way to address this when it could be browser version specific. I am not sure if this should be a Deploy blocker.

[chiragsalian]

i cannot reproduce issue on windows machine, i've asked QA to retest here.

[chiragsalian]

Demoting since we're unable to reproduce.
