 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a term. For example `test`.
 2. run `term_exists('[test]', $taxonomy)`

 Expected result: It should return `false`, because it is a different term

 Actual result: It returns the `test` term.

 This issue is related to #45333 where there are more details around the
 discussions in regard to `term_exists` inconsistencies. Basically this
 function handles the term name string in a different way that
 `wp_insert_term()` does.

 If someone could review it and agree we should work on a fix for
 term_exists I could do this, writing also the related tests.

 Cheers.
