the library works fine with all videos but I can't download a video that has title containing emoji characters like this video https://twitter.com/ETimesTV/status/1580811119991476226?s=20&t=y-qtWdxLBsYH7U8Sj7lJ2w

the video title is "Isn't she absolutely magical? Shehnaaz Gill sings "Hasi Ban Gaye" is just absolute blessing to the ears!!😍"

and I have tried many videos like the above video type of link and all of them with emoji in their title doesn't work

this issue is fixed by using my own title by removing the emoji characters like " request.addOption("-o", youtubeDLDir.getAbsolutePath() + "/myowntitle.%(ext)s");"
