Emojis not displayed in text fields in Inkscape 1.2.2 on Ubuntu 23.10

Summary:

When I try to insert an emoji into a text field, it doesn't display and is just replaced with a random character.

For instance, when I try to paste a 💩 emoji, it is randomly replaced with what looks like a Japanese yen symbol (¥)

It doesn't matter what font is used, or which emoji is entered. All emojis are replaced with random character that is not the emoji itself (it is a different random character for each emoji. For instance, 🤖 is replaced by the type of lowercase f that would be used when writing a mathematical function --> ƒ (U+0192)

Steps to reproduce:

• open Inkscape
• create a new image
• add a text field in the image
• copy an emoji from emoji selector app, web browser, etc (doesn't matter where you copy emoji from - never works)
• paste emoji into text field

What happened?

Emoji was replaced with random incorrect unicode character.

What should have happened?

The image pasted above should have a picture of 💩 instead of ¥
