Steps to reproduce:
I filled bug 1714632 by attaching the following HTML file: https://gist.github.com/rugk/71cadef3b8a8f18909c4f3f4e649121e
Actual results:
The emojis are distorted: https://bug1714632.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9225265
Expected results:
Leave my file as it is. Otherwise it makes it hard to attach test cases, which rely on this/make them not reproducible etc.
This is happening because the file is being left as is.
As that attachment doesn't specify that it's using the UTF-8 charset it's rendered as provided a default encoding is used, resulting in the emojibake you see. For me with Firefox the encoding used is windows-1252.
You can fix this in Firefox when viewing the attachment via View --> Repair Text Encoding.
If you want your HTML displayed as UTF-8 you'll need to set the charset with <meta charset="UTF-8"> in your document; I'll attach an example to this bug.
