Comment (by pento):

 In [changeset:"41045"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41045"
 Emoji: Fix some failing unit tests in PHP 5.2 and 5.3.

 - Older versions of PHP don't know how to `html_entity_decode()` emoji.
 - The fall back regex was a little too broad, catching characters that
 aren't emoji.

 See #35293.
