 At present, if you type ↗, a unicode glyph, in a WordPress post, it is
 converted to a Twemoji: ↗️. But those are two different things, very
 intentionally so, just like → is different from ➡️.

 At present if you want to avoid having the ↗ glyph replaced with a
 twemoji, you either have to disable the set entirely, or add a CSS class,
 `wp-exclude-emoji` in order to safeguard the glyph.

 From some conversations with others, this replacement of ↗ (and presumably
 also south east, south west, north west arrows) appears to be a recent
 change in WordPress, not present in 6.8 and happening sometime between
 September 3 and now.
