For reference, here’s the upstream bug: Backspace on emoji produces question mark character · Issue #6544 · codemirror/CodeMirror · GitHub

It was fixed/merged on 12/29/2020 :tada:

@WhiteNoise is there somewhere we can track when this upgrade to CM is going to make its way to Obsidian?

Also, here’s a GIF I recorded earlier this morning, before I saw this bugreport, posting it here anyway…

There seems to be a problem only with that specific emoji and monospace fonts. You can file a bug report directly to codemirror.

It’s possible that tag is grapheme cluster and codemirror doesn’t handle those well.
