Your favourite search engine should yield the relevant information quite readily.

Alternatively, go here and paste the emoji into the search bar:

It might be something to do with the two characters at the end of the quoted sentence.

Let’s see what happens if I paste those two characters here.

I managed to go back, delete them and fortunately the post went through.

Of the two characters, one was definitely an emoji and the other gave a tofu box here.

Near the end of the document is the follwing.

standardized in some manner so you can send any image in the world alongside
your text messages not just code points … well, Unicode is here for the world’s
emoji character needs.
