Current behaviour

1. Open the app
2. Add/create/edit any new/existing folder and add an emoji via the 'select emoji' modal
3. Emoji is not rendered correctly

Details

• It is evident that that the emojis are valid, visible tooltip on hover (star-struck), but not rendered properly.
• If you choose any of those block shaped emojis, they persist as ☒ forever.

Expected behaviour

All the emojis should be rendered properly and persist. For example the star-struck emoji must be rendered somewhat like this

Fix (Maybe)

• This issue might be related to system emoji fonts.
• A possible fix would be to bundle an emoji font with the app. Doing so may also fix this issue if caused by different Emoji fonts (and not text scaling).
