Comment (by redsweater):

 I confirmed that this bug is due to erroneous behavior of the twemoji.js
 script that WordPress bundles. Newer revisions to this script, for example
 the one here:

 https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/gh-pages/twemoji.js

 Contain special consideration for the character in question, and leave
 examples like the one @paulkafasis cites in tact.

 In short: the errenous replacement will be resolved by merging in a newer
 twemoji.js. The request to offer a switch to disable the Emoji replacement
 altogether should probably be opened as a separate issue.
