High voltage emoji doesn't show up in nvim but I can copy it from somewhere else

I copied this from the internet: ⚡
Pasting the above into nvim works
Neural shows codes:

I changed the icon to C-v u26a1 in quotes and now it works for me. Not sure how interoperable it is or what this codebase was developed on
in neural/lua/neural/config.lua

@brycepg Hmm, I'm not sure why you are getting Unicode issues on your particular setup. Perhaps consider updating your fonts.

The default emoji is "Lightning Mood" which was approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014.

The one you pasted is the "High Voltage" emoji was approved as part of Unicode 4.0 in 2003 under the name “High Voltage Sign”.
