Comment:

 Chrome notably lacked emoji support until recently (M41) and still has
 quirks, namely with regards to not rendering if the font weight is over
 500.

 The Horse that is rendering for you is from the
 [https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/gh-pages/72x72/1f434.png
 Twitter's open-source emoji set], which is what WP is using when the
 browser/OS combo doesn't support emoji or we otherwise have a reason to
 think it doesn't.

 You can confirm this is what is occurring by inspecting the element of the
 editor after the change and see that it is actually an image file being
 served by WP.

 I'm not certain, but I'd suspect that Trac's db schema doesn't support
 emoji (four-byte unicode), hence why it drops.

 Marking it as invalid as this is how WP's emoji support is designed to
 work—supplementing the browser/OS's emoji support.
