Emojis Do Not Speak when Arrowing by Character #8782

Description

@jage9

Steps to reproduce:

Note: These steps apply when running NVDA Master 16003 with pull request #8758 included, which reads unicode emoji characters.

  1. Open Notepad
  2. Insert an Emoji such as 🌮 which is the taco symbol.
  3. Arrow over the emoji by character.
    You can also arrow over the taco emoji above to observe the same results. Using the up and down arrow keys reads it correctly.
    I'm not sure if some emojis are represented by two characters, especially in browse mode.

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not speak anything when landing on an emoji character, which is the same behavior as before Master 16003.

Expected behavior:

The emoji character should be spoken.
