Why Tinymce get content retrieves wrong code?

Question

When I add emoji as follows <span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>&#128521;</span> into Tinymce 5 editor, it displays as usual, but when I save the content to the database, editor.getContent retrieves wrong code as below.

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji',sans-serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">ߘ</span></p>

When I look at database I see it has been saved as ?? and when I open it with Tinymce again it display as ?? . It seams Tinymce getContent could not retrieves 😉 in the correct way.

I use Javafx webView as wrapper to display Tinymce.

Anyone has any idea why, and how can we fix it?
