Weird, isn't it ?
Yes, weird. I do not know why unicode does not work with your Win 10 / Gimp 2.10
I have seen that scrambled selected text before when the whole text font is changed using the on-screen text tool rather than the text tool options. Also moving a file to another machine with different fonts causes problems.
This example, the file made with linux Gimp unicode / segoe UI , then the font changed to Tahoma. Open in Windows and I can get a default emoji when I try an edit.

You could try posting one of your Gimp .xcf files, maybe someone will comment.
