Emacs installed via homebrew (--with-cocoa enabled) freezes with 100% CPU usage when opening a file that contains unicode emojis. Other editors handle the file just fine (and default mac emacs opens it, but doesn't display emojis). Steps to reproduce: 1. emacs -Q 2. open a file that contains a unicode emoji (my test file has a burger icon in it - šŸ”) 3. emacs will stop responding and keep the CPU at 100% Is there a way to at least not display emojis (Iā€™m fine with blocks)?
