🎯 Goal
Closes #3922
Closes RN-507
Avatar initials took
charAt(0)of each word, which splits emoji stored as surrogate pairs, so a name like😀 Smileyrendered as�S.🛠 Implementation details
Words that start with an emoji now keep the whole emoji, including skin tones, flags and ZWJ sequences (
👍🏽,🇺🇸,👨👩👧). Hermes has noIntl.Segmenter, so we use explicit code point ranges and is capped at 32 code units.🎨 UI Changes
