Saved webpages using 'Inkdrop Web Clipper' can break sychronization

I have checked the troubleshooting

Bug report

Some web content saved to Inkdrop using the Web Clipper may break synchronization. This is noticeable by checking the synchronization state (bottom left), which constantly switches (every second) between ‘Syncing’ and ‘Synced ’. Additionally, changes are not synced to the remote database.

I am using my own CouchDB server to sync notes, so I can also see in the logs that Inkdrop repeatedly tries the same requests over and over again:

Hi @Lukas ,

Thanks for the report.
Yeah, it looks like emojis can cause such an issue. Do you get the same corrupt character in the clipper window?
