#16782: Character entered via compose key not replaced with matching smiley

---------------------+--------------------------
 In my smiley theme I have Unicode U+263A ("white smiling face", ☺)
 pointing to a smiley face icon.

 I'm on Ubuntu. I can compose this character (like I just did above) by
 typing [compose] [:] [)].

 If I do this in a Pidgin chat box I see the raw smiley face glyph; it has
 not been replaced. If I then send it I see the bitmap icon.

 If I copy and paste the character (whether from the icon in a Pidgin
 window, which puts the original unicode character on the clipboard, or
 from a raw glyph elsewhere) it is immediately replaced.
