Description Luke-Jr 2022-03-16 00:55:16 UTC 
Was looking for a gear character a week ago, and couldn't find anything. But someone on Twitter posted ⚙️, and putting it into kcharselect, it doesn't show a character for it at all :/
Comment 1 Luke-Jr 2022-03-16 00:56:18 UTC 
Note this example isn't even a new character: It was added to Unicode in 2005 (4.1).
Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2022-03-16 00:57:29 UTC 
Searching it as "2699" seems to find it, but "GEAR" and even pasting "⚙️" directly in the search failed.
Comment 3 Luke-Jr 2022-03-16 00:58:25 UTC 
Weird, now when I search for "gear", that works too. :/
Comment 4 Michael 2023-07-19 01:25:46 UTC 
I can confirm in KCharSelect 23.04.3, typing gear does find the gear, but pasting in the emoji of the gear doesn't find the gear.
Comment 5 Michael 2023-07-19 01:27:12 UTC 
Not sure why this is marked as resolved, though. Pasting in a character, even if it happens to be a unicode emoji, should still be able to show a match.

Michael, what you describe is bug 412271.
