FWIW, this is the case with Icicles. See the attached screenshots,
which show, as candidates whose names match the minibuffer input
`bell', seven candidates for substring matching (`S-TAB') and four
candidates for prefix matching (`TAB'). You can see that two of the
chars have exactly the same name, `BELL', with Unicode code points
1F514 and 7.
You can choose a candidate (e.g. the one with code point 7) by
clicking it with the mouse or cycling to it and hitting `RET'.
(The actual chars are also shown, following the code points, but
the default font displays most of these chars as boxes enclosing
the code point).
