We need to understand how to adjust it.  Does 1.9 lack support for
one of the characters we require for Emoji in
script-representative-chars?  If so, the solution is to upgrade to a
newer version of the font, because we have these 2 characters there
for a reason.

But I'm not yet sure this is the root cause, we need to be sure.
