What is going on here is not a bug in string repetition, but a bug in
converting from List to a Str object.
say ("\c[REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER G]" xx 2).elems #> 2
say ("\c[REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER G]" xx 2)[0].ords #> 127468
say ("\c[REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER G]" xx 2)[0].chars #> 1
say ("\c[REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER G]" xx 2).Str.ords #> (127468 32
127468)
It is adding in a space between the characters when turning it from a List
into a Str.
Will hopefully get more time to look into this bug later.
