Emojis not working after newest update

After installing the latest version of Brave, the emojis that previously worked normally no longer do. All web emojis have been replaced with simple, monochromatic ones. I simply updated Brave without changing any other settings, and now they’re like this. I tried following the instructions in this post but had no success.

Additional notes: I’m using the flatpak version on Fedora KDE. The browser fonts are all set to Deja-Vu (Serif and Sans), the same as they were before the update.
Here’s a comparison with Firefox (first image) that shows emoji as they should be (the problem isn’t with the system fonts).

same thing on void linux flatpak brave, downgrading…

edit: downgrade didn’t work.
tried a few things and sorted it somehow by (i think) installing the noto-fonts-emoji package and reloading font cache: flatpak run --command=fc-cache com.brave.Browser -fv

I managed to partially resolve the issue. But you need to completely remove Brave.
To do so, I used the following command:
flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.brave.Browser

And after that, i simply install it again.

Probably this issue as related to automatic update by Discovery Store (in Fedora KDE version).
