Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-02-28 13:19:23 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 38-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 Having emoji work correctly out of the box on KDE Plasma is important given how often emoji show up in stuff now.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2023-03-01 17:46:05 UTC

Editing the description in line with Akira's comments. There is no "missing" definition; there are definitions for the emoji family, with fallback through several fonts with Noto Color Emoji at the top, in /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-generic.conf . It is qt's problem that it apparently does not handle the 'emoji' family. 

This was already reported and the same incorrect proposed fix discussed, so closing as a dupe.
