Rofimoji crashed and now won't start

I have a keybind to execute the following command: rofimoji -s neutral -a clipboard --keybinding-copy Ctrl+c --max-recent 0. I tried copying the Eyes emoji, after that I tried opening rofimoji again but it wouldn’t, executing the previous command from the terminal (or also executing rofimoji with any other or no flags) only crashes and gives the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rofimoji", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/picker/rofimoji.py", line 508, in main
    Rofimoji().standalone()

    (frecency, character) = line.strip().split(' ')
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Haven’t tried just restarting my copmuter yet but I wanted to do the bug report while I still had the traceback in my terminal. Gonna report if a simple restart fixes the issue.

Since this should already be fixed on main, I’ve decided to push out a new release. Can you please re-open the ticket if it isn’t?

I can only imagine one possible cause: Have you ever used some whitespace character and use the latest stable version? It has has bug with exactly this scenario.

I just had the same issue and I did use the whitespace character ‘En Quad’, and seems like every time I use a whitespace character the above issue occurs.
