Right line mismatch with messages containing certain emoji's.
When messages with certain emoji's appear, the right border line of Middle Column, seems to be mismatched. One example of such an emoji is . (have not done an extensive search of which emoji's cause this issue)
For example emoji's like this --> 👍🏽
@sumanthvrao This wouldn't happen from the web app since all emojis there are automatically converted to text. I think this is happening from the mobile version. When I try to send unsupported emojis, from my keypad's emoji picker, ZT just recieves it as unicode which it can't decode. I guess we can just let the unicode text be there and add an extra space so that the characters don't overlap
Or we can try to extract the name of the emoji from unicode using a lookup module. Something like this https://docs.python.org/3/library/unicodedata.html#unicodedata.name
This may be fixed upstream in urwid/urwid#225, but could be resolved via aspects like #687, applied to all names where emoji can take place.
