Comment (by LindsayBSC):

 Hi there,
 I wanted to touch back on this issue specifically because it shows as
 "closed" yet the issue still remains a month later.

 I recently found that embedding any tweet with an emoji breaks the tweet
 as seen in the example above. This particular ticket was registered as a
 dupe of #212121 but that ticket seems to be about storing emojis in the
 DB. The twitter embed does not store the tweet's content in the DB but
 simply the URL to the tweet (when the tweet is pasted in the post content
 area). I feel that this should remain an open issue until it is figured
 out since it's not a duplicate.

 I would like to investigate this further if anyone has any direction for
 me to go in.
