If you don’t mind, could you explain what happened & how you fixed it for anyone who might come across this in the future with a similar issue?
When I was setting up color emoji for Ubuntu, I added the file ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with these lines:
<match>
<test name="family">
<string>sans-serif</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
<string>Noto Color Emoji</string>
</edit>
</match>
The problem is with the attribute binding="strong". I removed this attribute, reloaded the font cache and the problem was gone.
