Comment (by desrosj):

 Thanks @dd32 and @paulkevan! And apologies for missing that. It should now
 be fixed in `trunk` 6.9 beta 4. @paulkevan is going to work on verifying
 on w.org.

 I'm thinking about ways we can avoid this mistake in the future.

 In [55186] the library was removed as an npm dependency in favor of
 maintaining the file manually because of the new WordPress-specific code
 that was added (and removed in [61134]). On the related ticket (#52219),
 there is discussion about possibly getting a more generalized version of
 this code merged into the Twemoji library. But unfortunately this was
 right around the time of the Twitter -> X transition and the library fell
 dormant until it was forked by the current maintainers.

 Now that we have switched to using that well maintained fork, It may be
 worth suggesting that again.

 In the mean time, we should be able to either add a GitHub Actions
 check/test assertion to confirm these modifications persist, or a step to
 the WordPress build script that inserts these modifications into the
 released version of `twemoji.js` when `npm run build` is run.

 I'll explore a few ideas and open a ticket for this to follow up. Leaving
 this open in the mean time until beta 4 is released and it can be
 confirmed that the issue is fixed on w.org.
