GitLab ignores the Unicode variation selector used to disable Emoji rendering of a codepoints (black-white/textual presentation)

GitLab, like GitHub, renders U+2763 ❣️ as Emoji (even if this is not an Emoji-by-default character).

However, GitHub renders the sequence U+2763 U+FE0E ❣︎ correctly (U+FE0E is used to disable Emoji rendering), whereas GitLab insists on rendering it as Emoji still. (CE 13.0.0 does this, but after submitting the issue here, this instance also does it, as can be seen in the rendered body of this bugreport.)
