Why do some emojis come up and others dont ?

Describe the bug
If I give a string with emoji in the vs-code,

(as text: # This is an emoji ❤️ 😊 😀)

They are not rendered properly

Additional context
I checked your code, you are using fillText as specified here

Thought it would work, not sure why it does not.

Right now, CodeBlock uses a naive approach to splitting strings into individual characters which doesn't take into consideration UTF-8 characters bigger than 8 bits (emojis, CJK characters, etc.)
You can see in the image you provided that the two last emojis are split into four invalid characters.

Sadly, we'll most likely not fix this for the old CodeBlock node.
We have a new Code node proposal (#688) which will not have these issues but it's still in the works.

Thank you, I am looking forward to the new module.
