Although Input widgets display emojis correctly when a value is set in code (I mean actual emoji like 😊not :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:), the whole app hangs when trying to paste emoji from the clipboard on Windows 10.

As a sample code, one can use even this first example: Input - Textual Then copy an emoji to the clipboard and then try to paste it (either Ctr+V or Ctrl+Shift+V) For me, the main app hangs and the respective python process needs to be terminated. The textual console continues to work.

Here is the output from the textual console:

I could reproduce this on Win10 in Windows Terminal 1.17 using PowerShell 7. Works fine on Ubuntu 22. When run using PowerShell, but not inside Windows Terminal, nothing is pasted, but at least the app continues to work. Still, this is useless since emojis do not work in PS without WT.
