Emoji characters in PBIX name cause error

[PB_PRO]

I am trying to use emoji charatcter in the report  / PBIX name so my report name looks like this 

"REDACTED🏃.Pbix" but on saving I always get following error : The surrogate pair (0xD83C, 0x38) is invalid. A high surrogate character (0xD800 - 0xDBFF) must always be paired with a low surrogate character (0xDC00 - 0xDFFF).

With past versions of Power BI desktop I could just try again to save and it worked but it now doesnt work and if I then  try to publish to the service I get the following error : The Server object is not connected.

I am using version Version: 2.123.742.0 64-bit (November 2023).

Hi @PB_PRO 
I have the same version and tried it on my machine and it works (just copied your file name without quotes 😞

It seems something with the computer, try to save Excel or another file with the same name.

Maybe you need to restart or something
