It seems that there are some printing issues with wide characters such as ☺.

Try to write ☺ or — followed by some text and then move the cursor around
and mark the text, and you will see that the text get shifted and some if it is
sometimes not visible.

Edit: Appearently GitHub thinks it is fun to replace smily characters with
(non-corresponding) smily pictures, you can create the smily I intended to
write by typing compose, :, ), on the same topic. — is written by typing
compose, -, -, -.

What kind of font are you using? I just tried your smiley face with terminus and it looked fine. If you try that on with font it would probably not have the smiley face and will fallback to another font with a different size causing the problem. Sadly the old school fonts that are available online are not so complete so the only solution would be to manually add them. A gigantic task.

Terminus is the only font that works correctly.
