Describe the Bug

My password is a string of Emoji ✅🐎🔋📎

It displays as ✅������

Emoji Test

When copied, the password is correct - it is only the display that is corrupted. All other fields display emoji correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a new entry
  2. Paste or type emoji into the password field
  3. Save the password
  4. View the password.

Expected Result

The password should display the emoji - not a series of Unicode replacement characters.

Screenshots or Videos

This also occurs on the Desktop app (Linux) and the browser extension. I can raise bugs on those repos if necessary.

  • Device: OnePlus 5T
  • Operating system: Android 10

  • Is this a Beta release? N

Additional Context

I know that having an emoji password is a stupid idea!

@gryffs, this is the mobile version of the bug we discussed here: https://github.com/bitwarden/jslib/pull/354#issuecomment-853578031.

Please let me know if it's still on your radar. It's not urgent, just keeping track of things.

Parity between versions would be great considering this was fixed on desktop and browser extensions. https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/1682 https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/issues/768
