Hello there.

I am having a problem with some special character/emoji on my name on Debian linux.

I can see all these special characters fine on my distribution, as well on Discord program for linux they work fine.

They seem to work for my distro and in profile/edit profile but they will not show up on my name in-game or on the name tab next to community(STORE-LIBRARY-COMMUNITY-NAME), as shown in picture uploaded below.
PS: On windows they all work fine.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
