Just tested the beta, and it doesn't read emojis, at least for me, with any synthesizer. I get X of Y, e.g. 1 of 50, 2 of 50, and so on. This happens even with the one-core voices, which used to read more emojis than any other synthesizer. This happens whether the copy is installed or portable. Windows 10 64-bit, latest upates, not 1809 though. Here's the log from when I try to get to an emoji to put into this message in Thunderbird.
