Unwanted contact's emoji in voice dictated iMessage

When using Siri to send an iMessage, if I mention the name of a frequent contact (say, I have their contact saves as "John 🫡"), then Siri types out the name and emoji. This is frustrating on its own, but Siri also doesn't know the difference if I am talking about a different John. So now if I am sending a text to another John's mom and mention his name, then Siri sends "John 🫡" in the text. The only way I've found to prevent this is to manually type the name or delete the emoji. This completely eliminates the purpose of dictating the message in the first place. The emoji I put in contacts is meant for me and me only. It's frustrating that Siri now defaults to typing that emoji any time I mention a name in my contacts with an emoji.


Is there any solution to this problem?

This is normal.
