LOL, I knew about the crazy flag characters, but I had no idea it was this bad. Does "woman + ZWJ + heart + ZWJ + hands pressed together + ZWJ + woman" become "2 women lovingly holding hands"? Unicode has become completely absurd, and I am grateful every day that I'm not one of the poor coders having to implement it.
Humorously enough, input methods have not advanced at all. To type any of these things, I need to open a character picker, then either type in the character's name if I know it, or scroll through pages of symbols until I find the one I want. Yet we still call this "text."
