# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Firstly:

> ~~~
> #!/usr/bin/env sh
> sudo dnf5 remove google-noto-color-emoji-fonts.noarch && \
> sudo dnf5 install google-noto-emoji-fonts-20241008-2.fc42.noarch && \
> plasma-emojier
> ~~~

Thereafter, search “Right”.

# OBSERVED RESULT

When the in-use font does not support even one in-use combining character:

1. Grid alignment breaks (icons overlap), and

2. The combiners render atop the scrollbar.

# EXPECTED RESULT

The grid should adapt, such that the emoji spans ≥ 2 spaces.
