Resolution Note (2019.1.X):
The outlined behavior is due to the UI Input Field not currently supporting Emojis. In addition, the Emoji in the provided list use Emoji Modifiers which is not supported either. There are no plans to add this functionality to the UI Input Field.
Having said that, TextMeshPro components and Input Field do support Emojis. TMP does not currently support Emoji Modifiers but this is a feature that is planned to be added.
Using the latest release of TextMeshPro which is version 1.4.1 and 2.0.1, with the new Dynamic SDF system. Using a font file that contains Emojis such as the EmojiOne-svg.otf, and copy / pasting the following 👩👧 , we get the following image. Since Emoji modifiers is not support, we get the two distinct emojis in the sequence.
This current emoji font is B&W. Color emojis are supported via the Sprite Asset feature. Support for extracting color emojis from font files is also planned.
