Org markup syntax is not customizeable. You may consider using escape
character instead. See https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html

`org-emphasis-regexp-components' only affects the fontification, not
actual underlying markup.

We are well aware about this problem for Chinese users. The proper
solution will involve alternative markup like @bold{...} or (maybe)
**creole inline markup**. But changing Org syntax is not something we
can take lightly.
See https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87a6b8pbhg.fsf@posteo.net/

Not a bug.
Canceled.
