Regional emojis (indicators) are converted into country flags #19000

Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Using emoji picker spell 'ROMAN' with regional indicators
  2. 'RO' and 'MA' get converted into flags
element_emojis.mp4

What happened?

All regional emojis get transformed into country flags.
It prevents spelling words with indicators.

Examples: 'FR', 'DK', 'AT', etc

The only workaround is to add spaces between each letter.
If a space is later removed transformation still occurs.

This issue doesn't apply to reactions.
