When I set my display name to something with an emoji in it, the display name won't show up at the peer at all and instead shows up as just the b64 address in brackets.

I confirmed this happens on both android and linux.

I've attached what it looks like at the account itself and the peer (using a throwaway account so no worries on the address leakage).

Replicated this on initial connection, but then when reconnecting the emoji appeared...which would imply that the information is getting exchanged in the background but not forwarded to the UI for some reason.

cc'ing @dan as I think we have a related issue to this archived from the old repo.

Closing as Fixed - in the last 8 months the way we manage names has changed significantly and fixed a lot of propagation issues.
