Text filter failing on spam bot links with unusual unicode characters

As of a couple (5?) of weeks ago Iโ€™ve started getting batches of 3-4 posts on my group wall from 2-3 different users with randomized usernames every single day, and the users change every day. Every single one has the same message format, and the URLs used change every couple of days. They contain unicode text and emojis.

Previously I was enjoying a wonderful months-long spell of a spam-free group wall.

Here are some samples. Obviously donโ€™t visit these links.

Can confirm Iโ€™ve also been experiencing this. I wish these weird characters just werenโ€™t allowed on group walls.

Players also using it for harassment:
