Yup.  The `h' command in that buffer has the correct name, but there's
something odd going on with the `C-x 8 e d' command there.  Or rather,
the display itself.  Instead of 🥲 there, it really is ☺️, but with a
variation selector afterwards.  Which is weird, because 🥲 is a separate
character.

Perhaps emoji.el is mis-parsing the emoji file...  I'll try to debug.
