Smiley Symbol Test File Does Not Appear In Latest LibreOffice

I cannot attach .txt file, so I’m going to paste the character below. I noticed LibreOffice cannot handle the following character that normally works in text file format.

:wink:

Is there a reason why? Or perhaps specific encoding required?

:wink:

U+1F609 WINKING FACE

i wrote this symbol in a LO Writer file and saved it as text (.txt). Then i opened the text file in my text editor, and the winking smiley was displayed normally.

Can you go through exactly the steps that you performed? Including your expectations?
