Cannot associte ZWJ emoji with sticker
Using a supported version?
- [x] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- [x] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
We cannot associate ZWJ emoji with a sticker using Signal Desktop (e.g. 🙂↕️)
If I use signalstickers-client force upload a ZWJ emoji, only the first character of the ZWJ emoji is preserved (e.g. 🙂↕️ -> 🙂)
Steps to reproduce
- Create sticker pack with Signal Desktop
- Try to select emoji to associate with sticker
- Note that ZWJ emoji could not be selected
Expected result
ZWJ emoji could be associated with sticker
Actual result
ZWJ emoji could not be associated with sticker

On a side note when looking at sticker improvements: With unicode 16.0 we have things like "woman kneeling with semi-dark skin facing to the right". If I want to create a sticker which is suggested to any kneeling person emoji of any skin color and direction, a max limit of 13 emoji / unicode characters associated to one sticker doesn't cut it. Could that limit be raised quite a bit? Edit: Was told the skin color is ignored anyway, yet still a higher limit would be helpful
