Description
Description:
When writing a message consisting of two or three lines with a single emoji on each of the lines, these emojis will be rendered next to each other instead of on top of each other.
Steps to reproduce:
- Write this message:
:england:
:scotland:
:wales:
Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 6.0.0
- Deployment Method: Docker
- Number of Running Instances: 1
- MongoDB Version: 6.0.4
Client Setup Information
- Desktop App or Browser Version:
- Google Chrome Version 111.0.5563.65 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)
- Firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit)
- Electron client 3.8.16
- Operating System: Windows 10
Additional context
Similar messages spanning over at least four lines work as expected.
However, I expect this issue to be independent from browser and operating system.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named in the issue. Reproduce the three-line emoji message in Chrome, Firefox, and the Electron client, then trace the frontend message-rendering entry point. Done means the England, Scotland, and Wales emojis remain on separate lines while longer multi-line messages continue to render correctly.
