There始s three parts to that:
1. Deciding what fonts we should use for emoji. We can get a lot of
good results by adding appropriate 'set-fontset-font' calls to
emacs, independently of any other work (I also wonder if we should
change the default of use-default-font-for-symbols, given the
proliferation of both emoji and fonts dedicated to displaying them)
2. Extract the emoji sequences from the Unicode data files and assign
them to a new 'emoji' script. Be prepared to choose your favourite
bikeshed colour.
3. Add the appropriate entries to composition-function-table so that
the various multi-codepoint emoji sequences have a chance to be
rendered correctly, whether by HarfBuzz or the Apple thing whose
name I forget.
For [1], I think "Noto Color Emoji" and "Apple Color Emoji" would be a
good start.
For [2], I think that was finished, except that Eli then updated Emacs
to the next version of Unicode, and I haven't adjusted yet.
[3] is done for the cases that composition can currently handle. I
recall that there are sequences that require composition to do
lookback, which I think YAMAMOTO-san has patches for, but they've not
been submitted to Emacs (a quick perusal of my notes says this is for
keycap emojis, so I guess that始s a minor nit).
Oh, and there was a complication with enabling this by default on
macOS that I don始t fully understand yet. I始ll reread the history.
I始ll see if I can clean this up this weekend and throw it on a branch.
