Steps to reproduce:

1. Press NVDA+control+v to verify that Include Consortium Unicode data is checked
2. Open Symbols dialog
3. Try to add an existing emoji to search it, pressing the Add button and pasting 😂
4. Change a parameter other than the replacement, for example punctuation level, and press OK
5. Press NVDA+control+v and uncheck Include Consortium Unicode data
6. Try to read 😂 (press NVDA+c if it's copied in clipboard)

Actual behavior:

An error sound is heart and the symbol isn't read.

Expected behavior:

The symbol should be read according with the chosen parameters, even when other emojis are excluded.
