There was some semi-deliberate, over-zealous coercion of certain unicode characters into a full emoji to handle some weird cases in XF 2.1 which are no longer required so some adjustment may be required.

It's possible that in XF 2.1 the weird coercion workaround I mentioned was working around a situation where ⚙️ was being converted to ⚙ unexpectedly.

So hopefully there will just be a more consistent behaviour going forward.
