I am looking into this now, with a different set of system fonts, and it is now clear what is going on. 🇩🇪 is actually not a single Unicode character, but 2 characters: 🇩 and 🇪. The reason they are rendered as emoji is likely font composition rules. Org mode priorities _must_ be a single char. That said, it is indeed confusing when what _appears_ to be a single char is not under the hood. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
