[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Splitting a snowman in half crashes Geany with Spell Check (inserting a space before Unicode VARIATION SELECTOR-16) (#1041)

[elextr]

@hroncok I don't think the snowman matters, @eht16 will be pleased to know that you are not actually splitting the snowman :grin:.  The snowman code point is followed by a variant selector code point that says make the preceding character a different style, in the case of the snowman it makes it coloured. Your "split" puts another code point between the snowman and the variant selector so it applies to this code point and no longer applies to the snowman, and so the olde black and white glyph is used. This is visible in the examples @codebrainz posted.

But the problem appears to be applying the variant to a code point that has no variants, and that code point is in normal font, ie Dejavu Sans Mono.

However since your fonts style is "regular" not "book" it is different to that used by @eht16 and @codebrainz so that may be the issue.  Not sure where to go unless someone can install that font and reproduce the problem.
