How to prevent emoji from increasing line spacing?

I have an emoji inside a paragraph.

#set text(font: "New Computer Modern", size: 10pt)

#lorem(50) 😂 #lorem(50)

And the problem is that it increases line spacing. How to prevent this from happening?

you can set the text top-edge and bottom-edge to be e.g. "ascender" (or a fixed length) to make line spacing more consistent:

#set text(
  font: "New Computer Modern",
  size: 10pt,
  top-edge: "ascender"
)

#lorem(50) 😂 #lorem(50)

Alternatively you can define a command to change text edges just for the emojis, for example:

#let emoji = text.with(top-edge: "bounds")

#lorem(50) #emoji[😂] #lorem(50)
