Mine is the crying emoji.

And after enough failures in breaking the system, the 100 emoji.

Those are ok, but both of those emoji are represented as a single unicode codepoint. Some bugs (particularly UI bugs) only show up when multiple unicode characters combine to form a single grapheme cluster. I'd recommend something fancier.

I just tried it in gnome-terminal, and while the crying emoji works fine, polar bear or a country flag causes weird issues.

Crying emoji but with a different skin color?
