Indeed. It somewhere between sad and amusing for those of us who care about i18n that encoding issues in various software that we'd been pointing out for the better half of the last 20+ years suddenly became no big deal to fix in the last ~5 years as 4-byte Unicode Emojis got widely deployed for users whose languages would otherwise fit in US-ASCII or Latin-1. It's also a lesson for future generations. If you want an encoding specification to be fully implemented make sure that doing so is synonymous with the ability to display something like dog poop emoji. Clearly "this allows millions of people to read their native language" was too boring of a reason to care.
