LibXft does not seem to have support for multicolor fonts though. There is a
patch to add initial support:
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2015-August/047175.html
But it seems this hasn't been merged and I'm not sure if this is actively
developed. If this patch (or something similar) gets merged then it seems
enabling it in GNU Emacs will be as simple as setting the FC_COLOR value for
fontconfig in xftfont.c.
