iOS 18.1 message emoji showing as text in Spanish

When I click on an emoji on a text message sent to me, the sender also with an iPhone receives a text notification from me in Spanish. This started happening after the 18.1 upgrade. My Language & Region is English for the iPhone. I also have French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Italian. Could this be a new keyboard bug if you have multiple languages set?

I removed Spanish from the languages in Settings and it fixed the problem. But now I have to keep adding Spanish back when I need it and turning it off again. Not an acceptable fix.

What about on my iMac. That’s where it’s happening for me and although it’s happening with an iPhone user, there is an Android user in the group chat.
