Description
**Describe the bug**
Since https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/pull/1366 matrix-appservice-irc doesn't strip ZWSPs and thus Matrix users through IRC bridged relaybots may look weird.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to `#test:matrix.org` and https://web.libera.chat/#matrix-test
2. Copy-Paste `2021-162 17:24:12 EEST <@T4> Mikaela/Etro: meow-meow choco-chow` (or other ZWSP) to the second link
3. Look at `#test:matrix.org` on Element iOS
4. See a mysterious `` instead of nothing special in the message.
**Expected behavior**
Not seeing ZWSP as it's supposed to be invisible.
**Screenshots**
The sample message in both Element iOS and Element Web in that order.

- Version: iOS 14.6?
**Additional context**
Using ZWSP is common behaviour in IRC relaybots to avoid self-pinging when on multiple sides of the relay.
