Emojis not being replaced when changing language from default to es-ES

:ballot_box_with_check: Checked about no similar issues.

Explain the problem.

I am using the typical preamble.tex in my pandoc pipeline to make use emojis get replaced.

\usepackage{fontspec}
\directlua{luaotfload.add_fallback
   ("emojifallback",
    {
      "NotoColorEmoji:mode=harf;"
    }
   )}

\setmainfont{Atkinson Hyperlegible}[
  RawFeature={fallback=emojifallback}
]

\setmonofont{Hack}[
  RawFeature={fallback=emojifallback}
]

This is my pandoc command

 pandoc --verbose -C --embed-resources --number-sections --listings -H /home/user/Documentos/infinity/makepdf/preamble.tex -s --pdf-engine=lualatex --metadata-file=/home/user/Documentos/infinity/makepdf/metadata/guia-de-autodiagnostico-metadata.yaml --from markdown_mmd+emoji -o /home/user/Documentos/infinity/docs/downloads/guia-de-autodiagnóstico/guia-de-autodiagnóstico.pdf /home/user/Documentos/infinity/docs/guia-de-autodiagnóstico.markdown

This started happening when i added the language property to my metadata file: language: es-ES

This is really a tex issue, I think, and you need to diagnose it at that level. Generate a standalone tex file using pandoc, and remove things til you get a minimal repro. Then maybe someone in a tex forum can diagnose it.
