Emoji change no longer allows increase in emoji size, at least for the Classic Smileys

[Oubliette_Red]

 

Not sure when the change in emoji's went in but with the change, altering the font size no longer up-sizes the emoji.

Just like the default font size, I find the emoji's to be too small and would always scale up their size to increase the size of the emoji like

🥸    this.

 

Now it only increases the upper and lower buffering around the emoji like

 this. 

Both are set to Size: 28

 

I've not checked all the emoji, but it seem to impact the classic smileys.
