Image-mode buffers change non-ASCII symbols in mode-line

After activating display-wttr-mode, when I navigate to image-mode or pdf-view buffers (which use Image-mode under the hood), some icons like the Sun symbol will be changed to another font.

I've raised this issue on #emacs but was unable to get any help. I'd like to know if you can reproduce this. I have Noto Color Emoji installed as the fontset font and Iosevka as the default font in Emacs.

The following are the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Start a fresh Emacs with emacs -Q.
2. Install display-wttr from Melpa as per the project README.
3. Configure display-wttr with the following.

(display-wttr-mode)
 (with-eval-after-load 'display-wttr
   (custom-set-variables
     '(display-wttr-format "%c %t")))

4. Install and set the fontset default font.

(set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Noto Color Emoji" nil 'append)
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" nil (font-spec :name "Noto Color Emoji"))
(set-fontset-font t 'unicode "Noto Color Emoji" nil 'append)
(setq use-default-font-for-symbols nil)

5. Navigate to a file image (in my case, a .png)
6. Encounter the error shown by the screenshots.
