Emojis in a text field totally throw voiceover off when navigating by character

When in a text input field, if emojis are present, navigating by character using voiceover will cause voiceover to stop speaking when it encounters one of the emojis. It can sometimes take speech about 30 seconds to return, or you can navigate away from that app and come back to it again. This doesn’t happen when navigating by word or line. In those cases, the emojis are announced as expected.

This does happen, when I am going to put a string of emojis that I inserted using dictation, well, then, I want to delete the spaces. If I do that moving by character sometimes VO will not do anything and the braille cursor doesn't seem to move.
