There is following person at bluesky with this display name
⚫️🐦‍⬛ 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 and normal username there.
Knowing about glitches with Friends plugin and user names, I added it with username manually set on add, like

theskyisnotblue_bsky_social_via_bridgy

Still it does not help and still it shown incorrectly at the Friends list page:

Image See that resulted username in url uses `-` instead of `_` and such username does not resolved well at Friends feed.

Actually it is a fundamental issue as more and more people use emoji in display name, and only if original username from activity pub would be used, it would work as expected, sometimes with appending domain with _ separator.
Also it is impossible to fix the already added virtual users (subscriptions).
I don't have PHP skills sadly so I can't do a PR about that.
This is one of these few things that prevents me fully use the Wordpress+ActivityPub+Friends setup as my primary personal Fediverse space...
