It's not an issue with the OS or font, I can reproduce it here. Both fields support full Unicode input, but emojis get mangled between "Also choose from" and the generated password. Other Unicode characters such as äöïüßà etc. don't have that problem, so I suspect that we naively split the characters into UTF-16 code points, which will destroy characters that are not on the BMP.

I transferred this to an issue report: #12022
