RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2018-11-09 11:21:49 UTC 
If I do it in gedit, and cut and paste "👦🏻" from there to writer it happens too, so its not any problem with the input method. Seems there really are two chars there, Unicode Character 'BOY' (U+1F466) followed by Unicode Character 'EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-1-2' (U+1F3FB) so its on the render side of things
Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2018-11-09 12:30:55 UTC 
If I erase all emoji fonts except for Symbola, then I get the same bustage in gedit as well as LibreOffice, so a key problem seems to be font selection
Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2018-11-14 11:28:29 UTC 
The key font we want to use is a non-outline font so is rejected by LibreOffice as a candidate, so we'd have to relax that restriction and tweak things to bubble the font down to our cairo renderer. The good news is that if we can get it there, then it seems to render fine
Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2019-09-04 07:56:05 UTC 
implemented upstream as https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=dcf7792da2aa2a1ef774a124f7b21f68fff0fd15

Comment 7 Bill Sanford 2019-12-12 13:32:39 UTC 
In the OP steps, I couldn't use CTRL-SHIFT-e, but I did use :<emoji name>: and as soon as I entered the second colon, I got the emoji and tried to reproduce the bug. I used writer 6.0.6.1-20 and it looks like it is fixed.
