Subject: | bug#50865: 28.0.50; Emoji with emoji modifier in Linux console garbles emacs display |

I only lightly skimmed this thread, but there's been some work done in this area (displaying non-displayble characters on the console) over the last week, and I wonder whether that's fixed this issue, too?Not really, no.
Note that the OP said: "I'm also interested in any (dirty) hacks that could be used to work around this issue." So in that respect at least the situation has improved, there is now a documented way to work around the issue: using fbterm instead of the raw Linux console.
Bottom line: the Linux console is simply unsuitable for showing multi-lingual text, let alone Emoji sequences, as users expect nowadays.
That's correct. In fact it's not only "the Linux console", that's also true for most terminal emulators.
