Thanks alex for the suggestion to run spd-say. I just ran that, and 
speech dispatcher responded with "a left eye" instead of "eye in speech 
bubble" so it's definitely either an orca bug or a speech dispatcher 
one. To be exact, I ran "spd-say -o espeak-ng 👁‍🗨    eye in speech 
bubble                    // [1F441 200D 1F5E8]"

Thanks
