Description

Right now I'm working on a project that uses the _meteor-emoji_ package in conjunction with _meteor-autocomplete_. The problem is that every time I write the character that triggers the autocompletion and select an element from the list, it doesn't autocomplete the proper code for the emoji as shown in the following _.gif_

![entries box](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/11448559/11316730/1171e418-8fe1-11e5-9f1b-8f0af91d5c6f.gif)

What should be the best way to handle this kind of situation?

Thanks,

Research direction

Start by reproducing the selection flow with meteor-emoji and meteor-autocomplete, using the linked GIF as the expected-versus-actual reference. Trace what happens when an autocomplete entry is selected and determine the transformation needed so the proper emoji code is inserted; done means selecting an entry consistently inserts that code.
