So, I'm using Linux Mint 21.3 with MATE 1.26.0. I've noticed that my system supports a number of nonstandard flag emoji. I'm wondering what part of the system is responsible for this, if this is documented anywhere, and where the files or source for this can be found. Since I'm guessing not everyone is familiar: In addition to its mechanism for national flags, Unicode also has a mechanism for flags of subnational entities. However, this mechanism is mostly unused, with only the flags of England, Scotland, and Wales being officially supported according to the standard (the reason being, as I understand it, that the Unicode Consortium quickly realized that this would get completely out of hand if they allowed it to go any further). I've noticed that my computer actually supports a number of nonstandard subnational flags: American states and DC; Canadian provinces and territories; Mexican states and its federal district; and Northern Ireland (which officially doesn't even have a flag, but one is displayed regardless). Maybe there's more, but other subnational entities I thought to try (such as American territories or Australian states) didn't work. As an example, if your computer is like mine, this will display the flag of Delaware: 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁤󠁥󠁿 (my apologies to the Unicode Consortium for including a nonstandard emoji in general interchange! :P ) You might be wondering, why would I even think to try this, given that certainly I've never seen such nonstandard emoji in the wild, and had to assemble them myself out of the necessary non-printable code points (I mean with a script obviously, not by hand!), after inferring what those would be? The answer is that I got curious about the possibility after seeing [this MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle](https://puzzles.mit.edu/2024/mythstoryhunt.world/puzzles/crossed-fingers-memo-puzzle) the other year, which includes some US state flags as "emoji". Of course, the emoji in that puzzle are actually images, so there's no requirement for them to be actual emoji on anyone's system, but it got me wondering about the possibility, leading me to try out creating such nonstandard emoji on my own system, and, to my surprise, it worked. (I wonder if the writers of that puzzle were aware of this? Just realizing I didn't think to try contacting them... oh well.) (Edit: Actually, maybe I have seen this in the wild on one occasion? I forget, my memory's a bit fuzzy here. It's not important to the question anyway.) Anyway yeah this has been bugging me and I'm wondering if anyone knows what is responsible for this and where I could find more info. Thanks all!

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 with the emoji shortcut set up in IBus. Pressing the shortcut prints a letter e with an underscore. I've tried changing the shortcut to a different combination, but the behavior remains the same.

What I want to achieve is to have a specific emoji appear next to dotfiles inside file manager "LF" (these can be made visible in the file manager with the "zh" shortcut). In my ~/.config/lf/icons these are the first 9 lines in it:

^\..*	👑  
di	📁  
fi	🗞️  
tw	🤝  
ow	❌  
ln	🔗  
or	❔  
ex	🚀  
*.txt	🗞️

These are additional things I've tried:

1. ^\..*	👑
 2. ^\.*	👑
 3. ^.*	👑
 4. .*	👑
 5. ..*	👑

I've also tried reordering this "icons" file, i.e. putting one of these 5 before or after "fi" and similar filetypes. Is this even possible in "LF"? Other emojis seem to work fine. I'm not sure what kind of information I would need to provide for this kind of issue, but here is some(please correct me and/or suggest additional info I should provide) Distro: Manjaro WM: i3 TE: xfce4-terminal Emojis: Noto Color Emoji

How can I get support for proper rendering of emojis in Chrome bookmarks bar? I'm using Ubuntu Linux or more specifically Xubuntu. This is how it looks today: I want them to be displayed as country flags, and with colors, like they appear in bookmark manager:

Let me first clarify that xfce4-terminal does show colored emojis on the very same system for which I ask the question. URxvt, on the other hand, doesn't show them. Based on [archlinux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts#Emoji_and_symbols) , > Emojis should work without any configuration once you have at least one emoji font installed of supported format. but apperently that's not the case for me. You can see in the following screenshot the different behaviuor of the two terminal emulators (in the top left there's the .Xdefaults file used to configure URxvt) If I change the line

URxvt*font:             xft:DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font Mono:size=12

to

URxvt*font:             xft:NotoEmoji Nerd Font Mono:style=Book:size=12

I obtain non-colored emojis shown in a very ugly font where some characters are ok (the two emojis and the digits) and others are terribly pixelated (the letters): What can I do to make URxvt show colored emoji?

I am working with an old Raspberry Pi that only has text mode. Distro is Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian 11. By default the emoji characters only print as white diamond shapes in tty; in fbterm they show up as question mark in diamond shape. I can get fbterm to display glyph like Chinese characters by installing a proper font, e.g., "fonts-wqy-zenhei". However, this does not seem to work even after I install emoji fonts, like "noto-color-emoji".

I am slightly annoyed with some emojis.
So I was wondering, how could I remove/prevent some emojis from being rendered at all?
Replacing them with some other emoji like cute cat face could work too. So let's say, I am annoyed by "🥹", how can I make it show up as "🐱"? Would be even better if I could make it disappear completely.

Hello I'm starting to play with the linux console apearance and I would like to customize the @ emoji, I know I can do it in many ways, I used

nano ~/.zshrc

and modified a few lines so i can replace it with

☠

(usual when going root in kali) or

㉿

(base in kali) my question here is to know if there is a way to add custom emojis to the emoji base software integrated in latest versions of linux if not can I create custom unicode emoji it's doesn't change anything but i'm on latest version of kali (you guessed)

On Debian 11, which package can I install that will provide a GUI for Emoji selection? I'm looking for a package that: - Has **minimal dependencies** - Works across **multiple desktop environments / window managers** I want to avoid packages that require the installation of an entire desktop environment in order to use it.

In Linux Mint 19 x64 MATE, I noticed one day that Ctrl+Shift+E brought up some built-in/default emoji picker. I started using it after that, because of its instantaneous startup time. After a fresh install of Linux Mint 19.3 x64 MATE, this shortcut no longer worked, and there didn't seem to be any app installed of this kind, and nothing in the Software Manager or first few pages of Google results seemed to be the same as what had been there before. Unfortunately, I hadn't bothered to learn the name of the app, nor what it was part of/where it came from. Anybody know what it is?

I have set Source Code Pro as my default monospace font and Noto Color Emoji for emojis, set in fontconfig as follows:

serif
    
      Noto Color Emoji
      DejaVu Sans
    
  
  
    sans-serif
    
      Noto Color Emoji
      DejaVu Serif
    
  
  
    monospace
    
      Noto Color Emoji
      Source Code Pro

This works fine for Gnome apps, but my terminal [Allacritty] still shows some emojis without using the emoji font. I suspect that is due to Source Code Pro having those glyphs because they work as expected with other fonts (e.g. Inconsolata). For example ☕ and 💩 emojis: Is there how to force the emoji font to be used for those glyphs also in terminal?

I want to use UbuntuMono Nerd Font as my main terminal font but render emoji characters using Noto Color Emoji . I have configured LXTerminal to use font UbuntuMono Nerd Font. I can see the primary and first fallback font files for this font with: ~ > fc-match "UbuntuMono Nerd Font" -s | head -n 2 Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font Complete.ttf: "UbuntuMono Nerd Font" "Regular" fa-brands-400.ttf: "Font Awesome 6 Brands" "Regular" To use Noto Color Emoji as the preferred fallback font for emoji characters not within UbuntuMono Nerd Font, I configure ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf as follows: UbuntuMono Nerd Font Noto Color Emoji With this config, the output of fc-match indicates to me that this should work! ~ > fc-match "UbuntuMono Nerd Font" -s | head -n 2 Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font Complete.ttf: "UbuntuMono Nerd Font" "Regular" NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Noto Color Emoji" "Regular" But it doesn't: '😀' is rendered within LXTerminal as a black & white smiley. I have also tried using `` elements: und-zsye Noto Color Emoji The only way I can get the coloured '😀' to render is by blacklisting all other fonts. Why is a less precedent font overruling Noto Color Emoji when the output of fc-match is listing it as the preferred fallback?

i’d like to use the pretty Segoe UI Symbol emoji. I installed the font by copying it over from my windows install, and awesomely enough, my system falls back to it for all emoji that my main font doesn’t have. But all (black and white) emoji existing in my main font are used. How can I tell fontconfig to prefer “Segoe UI Symbol” for certain unicode ranges (the ones defined [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji)) ?

I have installed Noto Color Emoji font on my system (e.g. [Arch: noto-fonts-emoji](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/noto-fonts-emoji/)) , but I still see this black-and-white version in the terminal (Konsole): However, I expected the color one as displayed in other applications:

Is there an emoji picker available on Fedora 35? I can't seem to find a way to do it.

After deleting (by error) many packages, I came to notice that most of my emojis don't appear. In the "Emoji Selector", I have 4 emojis in the "recent" tab, but none in the "search" and the "all" ones. I tried:
Installing noto-coloremoji-fonts, kirigami2-dev and plasma-framework
Changing locals
Check if noto is installed with apt list --installed | grep -i emoji. Output: *fonts-noto-color-emoji/stable,stable,now 0~20200916-1 all [installed]*
Opening ibus-ui-emojier-plasma on terminal. Found an error *could not find ibus emoji dictionaries. "ibus/dicts/emoji-en.dict"*
I use MX Linux KDE Plasma, if it helps at all

I want to use an American flag emoji in my bash prompt (i.e. PS1 environment variable). However, the American flag emoji causes the terminal cursor to offset an extra character to the right. 🇺🇸 is comprised of two unicode characters, 🇺 and 🇸. I believe terminal is converting this to a mono-spaced emoji character (the flag), yet still allocating space for two characters. How can I achieve my expected cursor position? **I want:** 🇺🇸 Desktop user 🗽 ls| **I get:** 🇺🇸 Desktop user 🗽 ls | <-*weird space offset of cursor* **My ~/.bash_profile is:** export PS1='🇺🇸 \W \u 🗽 '

I am using KDE on Debian (both stable/Bullseye and testing/Bookworm). Emojis are not displayed in the terminal, not in window titles and not in system notifications. One way to reproduce the problem is to open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaYoJziCgto as it will cause plenty of emojis to be displayed in the window title bar. I only see these "missing font rectangles". Another one is to run echo "Heart Face Emoji 🥰"; it will display an empty box too. The problem does not appear on Xfce/Bookworm and KDE on Ubuntu. The problem persists on KDE/Bookworm when using Wayland. Since the problem does appear on KDE/Bookworm but not on Xfce/Bookworm, I think one can conclude that all required packages, e.g. fonts-noto-color-emoji are installed. I have not changed anything in the font settings. How can I enable emoji rendering in KDE?

I just shifted to arch from ubuntu budgie. and I am getting some issues loading/displaying emojis on some websites and applications. I have provided some screenshots of the issue. The Os I am using is Endeavour OS with KDE Plasma Desktop and my browser is Brave (stable). 1. A post on Facebook which probably had emojis 2. VS Code Terminal there should have been arrows which do show up on konsole (kde terminal) shown below 3. The konsole which shows the arrows
