I don’t know the technical details about this forum’s software setup, but it seems to me like it’s having the exact same issue as: http://pento.net/2014/04/07/wordpress-and-utf-8/ (in short: the database’s encoding does not support characters not in Unicode’s BMP and cuts off posts as a result).

This is still an active bug, by the way – might be worth mentioning to the Vanilla team.0

Hrant you are such a party pooper.

It affects any character outside BMP not just emoji. Actually thanks to emoji many software now has better Unicode support as software developers can’t dismiss requests to support characters outside BMP as being exotic anymore.
