Subject: [PATCH] Emoji: Test Emoji 17 support with the correct UTF-16 pair for
 Hairy Creature.

The Emoji 17 support test drew a string written with a five-digit Unicode escape, which JavaScript reads as a lone high surrogate, U+1FAC and the digit 8 rather than U+1FAC8. It renders with an empty center point, so browsers that support Emoji 17 were reported as not supporting it, and every emoji was replaced with images instead of only flags.

Follow-up to [61134].

See #66104.
