- No CSS snippets
- Default theme
- Restricted mode enabled

Breadcrumbs should render emoji inline with text, matching the behavior in Editor Mode.
Actual result
Emoji in breadcrumbs do not render correctly in Reader Mode. They may be missing, misaligned, or replaced with fallback characters. Editor Mode displays them properly.
