Why does a colored shape appear to the right of a comment text that happens be its html color code?

Repro:

1. Open Google Chrome version 92.0.4515.159 on Windows 10
2. Log in to Trello using username danesalmon11
3. Go to board at https://trello.com/b/qpihCb7r/slblms
4. Open a card
5. Write and save a comment consisting of an HTML color code, e.g. #124589

Expected:

The comment should exhibit no special markup behavior.

Actual:

The comment renders a glyph to the right of the HTML color code text, bearing the signature color.

It's expected formatting behaviour. When you add a hex colour code in the description or comments of a card, it will generate the corresponding colour chip. If you don't want to see a hex color chip, you can escape the markdown syntax using a backslash before the pound symbol: e.g. \#00bfb3.

Oh, I see.
