Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2023 23:19:18 +0100

It seems that the emoji are now in the font-google-noto-emoji package.
Installing that package worked for me: now the emoji are in color in
foot (wayland terminal), while earlier they only were in color in the
status bar.

So maybe everything works as intended. I was surprised to see tofu
because I expected that there would be 1 ultimate noto font, but maybe
that was naive.
