Some OSes display some unicode characters as emoji-default. These characters were selected for that for exactly the reason you surmise. There’s a [text presentation selector][] to enforce the text variation. This is also useful for making (yellow triangle with exclamation point inside) become (single color triangle outline with same-color exclamation point inside).

If a site wished to exclude garish blobs from comments while permitting textual symbols, that would be the right way to do it.
