Unfortunately it is a bug in Qt.

Nothing we can really do in Okular to fix it.
Comment 3 Bengt Gorden 2025-10-09 07:38:41 UTC 
Okay. What part of Qt would that be? Is there a bug report upstream to Qt for this?

Thanks. When I did some quick tests this morning, I noticed that it seems to be the space between the # and the emoji that is being misinterpreted. If I do that, the emoji renders correctly.
