Selecting actual "typed content" when rendered content is selected.

See original GitHub issue

Let’s say I type (c) and convert it to ©. Or, maybe I convert :) to 😄 . Is it possible to get actual typed content when I selected rendered content. So, selecting the emoji should give me :).

Essentially mapping selection/cursor position from rendered content to typed content.

Is something like that possible?

@jatins That will work, I am doing basically the same thing. Just iterate over the nodes and check if node.type === yourEmojiType. If true, do result += node.data.get('originalText'), otherwise result += node.text.

@oyeanuj Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, that’s probably something I could do. I’ll look into it.
