Emoji entered in task names render as empty boxes

Severity: Minor — cosmetic, has a workaround, batched into a future sprint

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a task
2. Enter an emoji in the name using the system picker
3. Save and view the task in the list

Expected

The emoji renders.

Actual

Renders as an empty box. The character is stored correctly — copying it out and pasting elsewhere shows the right emoji — so this is a display problem, not a data problem.

Environment

• Web app, all browsers tested
• Only affects emoji outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, which points at surrogate pair handling in the renderer

Frequency

Consistent for affected emoji. Older emoji render fine.

Impact

Cosmetic. No data loss, no workflow blocked.

Triage note

Minor bugs do not get dropped, they get batched. Pull two or three into each sprint alongside feature work. A bug list that only grows is a bug list nobody reads.
