Adding the actual emoji character gives tracker error and "\xEF\xBF\xBD\x0D\x0AA" is being shown.

PHP version range is wrong. I must have forgot to repick, as I had to try multiple times to create this issue.
8.3.2 is correct.

Yeah, the issue tracker still uses the old MySQL character set that doesn't use emojis.

I can't reproduce this on the command line, but curiously, I can in the browser.

For some reason, Xdebug drops the first byte of the emoji (\xf0):

Correct:

0000   73 74 72 69 6e 67 28 31 30 29 20 22 68 65 6c 6c   string(10) "hell
0010   6f 20 f0 9f 91 8d 22 0a                           o ....".

Incorrect:
