Issue summary:
From 1:13 PM PDT to 6:56 PM PDT on August 15, 2022 some customers experienced issues in the desktop app when sending messages or reactions with Japanese character emojis.

We identified the issue was the result of a code change to how emojis were validated. We reverted the change which resolved the issue for all affected users.
