Emoji-button on touch bar stops working

The emoji-button on the touch bar continues to break after the computer is being used for a while. A restart normally fixes the problem for a short while, but often reappears after a couple of hours. I've tried to open it in safe mode and the problem still exist. I've had this problem for quite some time now but it seems to get even more frequent now.

The touch bar works flawless otherwise, excepts for the emoji-button (The button becomes white when pressing on it but nothing happens).

I am on the latest Ventura version 13.2.1.

Does anyone know what the problem is as I have seen others with similar issues?

Yours is certainly not the first report—

emoji not showing on touchbar:

From the Activity Monitor.app>Force Quit the "EmojiFunctionRowIM" process

Then retry tap on the emoji icon on TouchBar to start again.
