    Description

      Tested with quassel (0.12.4) and qutebrowser (1.0.4)

      Inserting emojis using xdotool is not possible:

      xdotool type --window <id> "emoji"

      (I could not insert a real emoji in the example because of the following error: "We can't create this issue for you right now, it could be due to unsupported content you've entered into one or more of the issue fields.")

      Copy/pasting the character from both primary and secondary selection/clipboard works fine though.
