What is the terminal emulator you are using, and on what OS?

Basically, what the above means is that the text terminal you are
using doesn't support the sequence of U+1F310 followed by VS-15 as
Emacs expects it.  On such a terminal you need to disable
auto-composition-mode to be able to edit such text.
