When using certain emojis (seems like many of the face emojis are effected) with the built in Windows 11 "Segoe UI Emoji" font, certain parts of the emoji are wrong.
Below is an example of two that look wrong but in different ways, and another that appears correct, so it's not all of them:
How they should look (screenshotted from microsoft word):
You can see that for the turning head emoji, in Photoshop it looks much darker than it should. And for the thinking emoji the problem is obvious. I also notice how in the thinking emoji, the main face part has gradients, but the messed up version is all just one flat color - not sure the significance of that.
Looking in the Glyphs panel, it seems that many of the face icons specifically are affected, though there could be others and it's just more obvious with the faces:

Here's some of my system info, I can provide the entire "System Information" contents if needed.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.3.0 20250122.r.156 bfca642 x64
Operating System: Windows 11 64-bit
Version: 11 Build 10.0.26100.3194 (Version 24H2)
CPU: Intel 13900KS
GPU: Nvidia 5090 - Driver 572.16
It does the same thing when I tried it in virtual machine also using Windows 11 24H2 with a fresh copy of Photoshop 26.3.0.
It also does the same thing in the Photoshop beta (Version 26.5.0 20250212.m.2973 455b503 x64)
