Created attachment 1407858 [details] emoji-picker-flags-gnome-terminal.png That is a gnome-terminal problem. It works in gedit and in other gnome programs like in the "enter command" dialog as shown in this screenshot. gnome-terminal cannot display most emoji sequences correctly (i.e. emoji which consist of more than one character). For example, gnome-terminal cannot display any of the following emoji sequences correctly: 🇨🇦 👩🌾 👩❤️👨 🙋🏾♀️ 👧🏾 In emoji-picker, if you right click on an emoji, some information about that emoji is displayed. There you can see whether the emoji is a single character or a sequence. For example for the Canadian flag you will find: 🇨🇦 U+1F1E8 U+1F1E6
Move bug to gnome-terminal.

Attached screenshot is what I got when I try to paste some flags and others to libreoffice writer
(In reply to lnie from comment #6) > Attached screenshot is what I got when I try to paste some flags and others > to libreoffice writer Yes, libreoffice does not support these either. That is a problem in libreoffice, not in the inputmethod used to input these sequences.
Above reported issue is reproducible in Fedora 30 with Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-30-20190401.n.0.iso able to input flags in gedit, but not on terminal and libreoffice.
Pasting 🇨🇦 U+1F1E8 U+1F1E6 into libreoffice works now. But it still doesn’t work to past it into gnome-terminal.
Pasting 👩🌾 U+1F9D1 U+200D U+1F33E into libreoffice still fails (and it also fails pasting it into gnome-terminal).
Unchanged in Fedora 33.
I believe this is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/293
For gnome-terminal, vte may not support Unicode Emoji sequence. URL: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/blob/master/src/vteunistr.h#L30
Please file a upstream against vte, but this is not easy to fix due to its rendering limitations.
While the issue here is mis-stated (the issue is combining the two RI characters of width 1 into one cell of width 2, and has nothing to do with the rendering itself), there already is an upstream bug at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2317 . (Please don't an extraneous comment there; the issue is already known and understood upstream.)
