I have never understood the Windows way of doing ownership/permissions. If one font set is working and the other isn't try to make the ownership the same.

This issue doesn't seem to be related to permissions, as the Segoe UI Emoji font has the same permissions configuration as other fonts that are working perfectly.
I have made some additional investigation using the same font with different programs:
Windows Notepad:
Notepad++:
Gimp:
All the text words appear to use the same font, but all the emojis are different.
Edit: Showing in a different way, using the text information retained when you save a Gimp xcf file
Left side is your file Calibi Bold only Right side a mixture of Calibri Bold and Segoe UI emoji
Edit Again:
Attached just the layer group xcf What does it look like on your Win 10 Gimp.
I reproduced the steps from your demo, but unfortunately, it didn't help.
Note that you don't have the broken text selection as I shared in a previous screenshot.
Additionally, this problem occurs for me, not only in the project I shared, but also in a fresh project.
However, I'm curious about how you display the window with the text information in your screenshots. Could you share how you do that?

Strange. Maybe English <> French setup perhaps keyboard ?

That is just your file. The only change setting the emoji as sego font. The lion I added as unicode 1f981

It displays the text "parasite" information in a .xcf file when it is saved.
Open the saved file - do not edit anything
Select the text layer.
Right click in the Layers Dock and at the bottom is Show Text Information.
Useful with a file from a different computer, it can show missing fonts on the new computer. Also shows when there are many changes in fonts/size formatting
I say it's a stretch regarding these emojis as a font set. These guys are not letters. I would forget the hoops and roundabouts and just paste them in where you want.
They are covered by a Microsoft license so get a lawyer if necessary

Edit Reason: edit
)
I am beginning to suspect that there is more to the OP's problem than is known. Windows 10 + the latest Gimp 2.10.36 works here, not any help, but then OP not able to use unicode with text input set to simple. ie. shift-ctrl-u 1f981 = lions head or get a direct edit of his file to input a color emoji. This used to be a libcairo issue but AFAIK recently fixed.
I wonder if the OP would get a better result with say, the samj portable Gimp. ( https://samjcreations.blogspot.com/ scroll down to gimp-21036-portable-32-bits-et-64-bits, uses libcairo 1.18 )
Using svg's is a valid alternative, text on one layer, emoji svg on another. Microsoft copyright ?
In post #7 I put this link https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji A whole section there of svg files that go to make the font. Obviously not M$ You do need to download the zip to get all of them. edit: License is https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
