[Android] Last emoji in a Text is cut off when the text contains the 🫨 emoji (U+1FAE8)

Description

A <Text> whose content contains the 🫨 emoji (U+1FAE8, Unicode 15.0) renders with the last emoji of the line partially or fully cut off at specific text widths on Android. iOS is unaffected.

What we verified:

The 🫨 emoji is the trigger. We compared emoji suffixes of the same length (14 emoji) at the same text widths: a sequence containing 🫨 (😂🙁☠️😠🤔🥶🫨😺👏🏻🙁😂🥶😂😠) clips; 14 keycap sequences (1️⃣…🔟) and 14 single-codepoint emoji (🔴🟠🟡…) do not. Replacing 🫨 with another emoji in the failing sequence stops the clipping.
Width-dependent. Only strings whose width lands near the line-wrap boundary clip; adding or removing one letter makes the bug appear or disappear.
Device-dependent. Different devices clip at different string lengths (verified on Huawei P30 Pro VOG-L29 / Android 10 and a Samsung device; exact failing rows differ).
Version- and architecture-independent. Reproduces identically on RN 0.73 (old architecture) and RN 0.83.6 (new architecture) in the same app.
Not markdown/library related. Reproduces with a bare <Text>.

Steps to reproduce

Clone https://github.com/mariia-korzun/EmojiEndClipRepro — a fresh community template where only App.tsx changed. It renders a sweep of 1–40 letters + a 14-emoji suffix in several layouts (chat bubble, fixed width, full width) plus a no-emoji control section, with the three suffix constants for comparison.
yarn install && yarn android on an affected device.
Scroll the EMOJI section: several rows show the last emoji clipped or invisible. The CONTROL section never clips. Replace 🫨 in the suffix — no row clips.

Expected: the trailing emoji is fully visible (as on iOS, and as with sequences without 🫨). So 😠 in the end should be visible

Actual: at specific widths the last emoji of the line is cut off. Screenshot attached.

With colors and numbers emojis all fine. Issue just when 🫨 in list. So 😠 in the end not visible

Some negative triage data that narrows this down:

I rebuilt your sweep (1–30 ws + the 14-emoji suffix, chat-bubble layout with flexShrink: 1) in rn-tester on a stock emulator (API 35) and tested two variants:

Your exact suffix with 🫨 — this image's emoji font has the U+1FAE8 glyph. No clipping at any width; every row renders all 14 emoji ending with 😠.
The same suffix with 🫨 replaced by 🫩 (U+1FAE9, Unicode 16) — this glyph is missing from the image's font and renders as a tofu box, simulating what an older device experiences with 🫨. Still no clipping at any width: the tofu fallback measures consistently with how it draws, across the whole sweep.

So on stock Android, neither the emoji itself nor the missing-glyph fallback reproduces the cut-off — the mechanism isn't simply "glyph absent from font". Combined with your observation that failing row lengths differ between your Huawei and Samsung devices, this points at the OEM emoji font / fallback chains on those devices producing a different advance during measurement than during drawing for that codepoint.

Two things that would help pin it down on an affected device:

Does the clipping follow the emoji font rather than RN? E.g. does the same string in a native TextView in a bare Android app clip identically on the Huawei?
Does replacing 🫨 with a codepoint that's missing from that device's font (any Unicode 16 emoji) reproduce it there? If yes, it's the missing-glyph path in the OEM fallback; if only 🫨 does it, it's that glyph's entry specifically.

Happy to help with an RN-side fix if a measurable divergence in RN's measurement path is identified, but on stock images the measurement is currently consistent.
