Description
In WordPress 4.1, editing a draft via Chrome browser in Windows 7, it is possible to lose a draft if the contents of the Visual editor contain a specific type of special character. Basically, the character is an iPhone Emoji.
I had sent an email to a company for support from my iPhone and I used an Emoji that does not show up when it reaches the PC. When you view the sent email from the PC, in Gmail, the Emoji shows up as a square. (

Yeah! Ironically this character also truncates the description that I entered via Trac! So maybe consider submitting the bug to Trac too.

Thanks for the bug report! This is fixed in trunk, and will be released in WordPress 4.2.
We're also looking ways to make emoji play nicer in WordPress, so you'll be able to use them in your posts. :-)
