As wpForo doesn't set the user as a spammer for using the icon.

One of our legitimate forum users got banned. He writes this:

I wanted to update my profile's displayed name (I wanted to make it "MyName 🇺🇦") on the forum, but for some reason, I've been banned :)
Maybe icons are not allowed to be used...

Could this be the reason for the user having been banned?
