    Was gonna say… you’re relying on the consistency of external emoji handlers that you don’t control. Ascii emojis are one thing.

        It was pretty normal lol. Basically everything between the visual of an emoji and what “text” is entered is not in your control. So it’s great for security but not in practice as a password. What brand was the kombucha I want some.
