## Description

### Steps to reproduce

### 

#### 

1.  Go to Administration \> Times and Costs \> Defaults \> Costs tab

2.  In both 'Currency' and 'Format of currency', add emojis

3.  Save

### What is the buggy behaviour?

  - Save is successful 

### What is the expected behaviour?

  - Currency:
    
      - Add caption "This is the unit of currency. It be a three-letter ISO code like EUR, USD or JPY or a symbol like €, $ or ¥."

  - Format of currency:
    
      - Replace with a select field
        
          - Label: "Currency format"
        
          - Options:
            
              - "Before the number (eg. EUR 100)"
            
              - "After the number (eg. 100 EUR)"
        
          - No caption
            
            <br>
