Why can my AutoHotkey script only type some emoji?

Question

I have set up a small AutoHotkey script that uses hotstrings to allow me to type a few emoji and other special characters:

#SingleInstance force

#Hotstring * ?

::–::–
::†::†

::π::𝜋

::&shrug;::¯\_(ツ)_/¯
::&tm;::™
::&c;::©
::&r;::®
::&tableflip;::(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
::&music;::♫
::&piano;::🎹
::&cmark;::✓
::&xmark;::✗
::&hourglass;::⌛

The script is also available on PasteBin.

It all works in my text editor:

However, some replacements don't work everywhere, for example in Telegram Desktop:

Both emoji were originally copied from Telegram Desktop, so they are definitely supported in it.

Why isn't this working as expected?

I'm running AutoHotkey Unicode 64-Bit in version 1.1.23.3 on Windows 10 (version 1511), Sublime Text 3 (3103) and Telegram Desktop 0.9.28.

I answered a similar question in the past: Autohotkey Replace 2 specific character with one
I don't really know what the problem was, but we managed to get around the problem by making use of the clipboard. Maybe the same method can be used for your scenario.
