Using the shell that comes embedded with 'Git for windows' (that includes
Cygwin) and opening it in Windows Terminal, there's a bug that
prevents me
from pasting types of unicode characters like emojis in the terminal.
I've opened a ticket in the git-for-windows repo and after testing
over the
problem they concluded it was Cygwin's problem and told me to report it
here (ticket link below).

The complete description of the problem from people that understand it
more
than I actually do is in the ticket.
I'm including cygcheck.out like your guide suggests.
Thank you for your time, cheers.
I doubt this is a cygwin issue. Do any emojis run in that environment?
Does it work in the "Git Bash" terminal? Why would you run git bash in
Windows Terminal?
Works Just Fine For Me under mintty, configured with charset encoding
UTF-8 (for Windows cmd use chcp 65001 IIRC), font DejaVu Sans Mono
(Cygwin package dejavu-fonts).
Depending on your font selection, you may have to add fallbacks, using
Windows font linking (below); using e.g. GNU Unifont (Cygwin package
unifont-fonts), Unicode BMP Fallback SIL font, and Apple's Unicode Last
Resort font; see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/input/font-technology#font-linking
MS has added Seguiemj.ttf "Segoe UI Emoji" containing some recent emojis
to recent Windows.
NOTE: Cygwin font installation only makes it available to Cygwin console
graphics (e.g. gnuplot, R) and GUI apps using libfontconfig, it does not
make it available to Windows apps, you have to install the OTF/TTF files
manually from Explorer as usual.
