Expected behaviour
Nothing should happen, actually. Same should be persistent for other alphabets apart from Latin (Greek, Armenian, e.t.c). Can't remember the realisation, but we could try to restrict usage only with emoji unicode range (or escape all alphabets) - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters for reference
Actual behaviour

Research direction
No file or test is named. First reproduce the issue in the Talk app by creating a conversation and entering a name beginning with a lowercase Cyrillic letter, then trace the avatar-rendering path and its Unicode handling. Done means non-Latin letters no longer trigger avatar behavior, while the existing emoji behavior remains unchanged.
