Splitting slides with emojis does not work properly

[teamshortcut]

Hi! I noticed that splitting slides where bullet points with animations have emojis doesn't work properly. The emojis seem to be ignored, and all emojis are included in every stage of the split. I've attached a minimal example of this behaviour and some screenshots below.

Thank you very much @teamshortcut for reporting this behavior and apologies for taking so long to follow up.

The issue is of course confirmed and, to be more precise, it affects text elements with a non-standard graphical layout, including emojis as well as outlined text. Emojis are only affected when they are rendered in their colorful graphical form, which leverages the standard Segoe UI Emoji typeface for displaying. Conversely, emojis that are rendered using monochrome symbols, as part of a standard font character table, are processed correctly like any other characters. Incidentally, for each emoji it is possible to switch between its colorful rendering and its monochrome text-only representation using variation selector 16 and variation selector 15, respectively. However, this does not always work consistently in Microsoft Office and a colorful rendering may just be desired after all.

In the meantime, I am investigating ways to address the issue.
