I actually don't know how to fix it. This appears to be a problem with keyboard input on Windows via tcell. The two codepoints for this emoji get replaced by two Unicode replacement characters. So the emoji codepoints never reach the tview application. I don't know why this happens. (I found this after a quick Google search but couldn't find a quick fix for this problem.)

Maybe you can write a short tcell application that shows the same behaviour. If it does, please post it as an issue to the tcell project.

This appears to be a problem with keyboard input on Windows via [`tcell`](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/). The two codepoints for this emoji get replaced by two [Unicode replacement characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character). So the emoji codepoints never reach the `tview` application. I don't know why this happens.
