I believe this is the telegram servers. I don't have proof for it, but
especially during holiday times (we've just had easter holidays) I've
seen this happening on android devices too for friends of mine.

As a workaround, try changing the ringtone for messages in the settings
and see if that helps.

This is a bug in the upstream TelegramQML library which I've reported here:

This is actually implemented already but hidden because the mix of
colored emojis and the in-font emojis didn't look great. I agree that it
would be nice to have the colored ones but then there is also value in
sticking to what the platform provides. I think the real solution here
is to extend the platform emojis to use the colored ones if that's
possible. Related to that, I've also reported this bug a while ago:
