Hi @mervick , how are you? The problem is this in the stack: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63307114/get-the-cursor-position-in-a-text-that-has-emojis-and-insert-tags My function passes the wrong position, if there is an emoji in some part of the text.

@mervick , what we are trying to achieve is getting the last cursor position inside the contenteditable div, that way we can insert "tags" in the correct place. I have updated the title of the issue and created a jsfiddle showing what we want to achieve:

I appreciate any feedback :)

Sorry for the late reply.

selectionStart works only for regular teaxtarea or input's, but emojionearea uses contenteditable div, so where is no way to make selectionStart works with div element
