Topic: WordPress “chokes” on Turkey emoji for Thanksgiving « WordPress.org Forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-chokes-on-turkey-emoji-for-thanksgiving

When I do this:
Try to post a standard post with any title (or other standard post fields) that includes a Turkey Emoji 🦃
(see also: http://www.iemoji.com/view/emoji/1861/animals-nature/turkey)

This happens:
The post occurs as expected, but WordPress "sanitizes" the turkey emoji out of the post! I suspect that this particular emoji is either so new it's isn't recognized by the system like others, or its UTF-8 equivalent code may be improperly recognized as rogue code somehow when the inputs are sanitized.

For thoroughness, I thought I'd post this issue here as well as the original in relation to the Instagram plugin and related post which caused me to recognize the problem: https://github.com/jtsternberg/DsgnWrks-Instagram-Importer/issues/27

Has anyone else seen this with relation to the recent Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.?
