"eye in speech bubble" emoji not being mapped correctly to filename

[nicksellen]

I noticed my "eye in speech bubble" emoji image was not loading - the image was not found.

The hex code for "eye in speech bubble" is 1f441-fe0f-200d-1f5e8-fe0f but the twemoji file for that emoji is 1f441-200d-1f5e8.png.

I see the logic in:

twemoji/scripts/build.js

Lines 344 to 350 in 388f518

	function grabTheRightIcon(rawText) {
	// if variant is present as \uFE0F
	return toCodePoint(rawText.indexOf(U200D) < 0 ?
	rawText.replace(UFE0Fg, '') :
	rawText
	);
	}

Which is supposed to convert the emoji to the correct hexcode for the filename by sometimes removing the fe0f codes, but it doesn't work in this case. This is the only emoji affected.

Here's a reproducer - https://nicksellen.co.uk/upld/twemoji-issue.html - with description of the issue on the page.

Renaming the file would work, but perhaps breaks something else for someone? Or do some other logic in that function to give the correct filename without breaking the other emojis.

Given there are already lots of filenames with fe0f in (where 200d is also present) renaming the file would make sense to me!

Having the exact same issue. And I also notice the same things. Another thing I would like to add is that the "eye in speech bubble" emoji will look correct in native and Noto Color Emoji. So problem seems to be with twemoji.
