Typing two spaces after an emoji should not autofill a period

Currently there is an autocomplete for ending sentences whereby typing two spaces "  " is substituted with ". "

This is incredibly useful when typing "Hi, my name is radar. What's yours?" (in this case I typed two spaces after radar and let autocomplete do the rest) but is VERY frustrating in the common scenario that someone is trying to space out something non-text like emojis "🐜.            🦇"

Suggestion: the double-space to period-space substitution should be disabled when the leading character is a non-text character like an emoji :) If you do you'll make million of emoji typers everywhere let out a sigh of relief that they don't have to select, and delete that little extra dot.
