The new release is a major upgrade, including support for the new Unicode 11 standard. Some existing emoji were tweaked. We need this update in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS so that the new emoji work. https://blog.emojipedia.org/whats-new-in-unicode-11-0/ https://blog.emojipedia.org/inclusive-emojis-coming-back-to-android/ https://emojipedia.org/emoji-11.0/ Note that several of the new combined emoji (like red-haired man 👨🦰 ) will need an update elsewhere (pango?) to display as combined. Test Case ========= 1. After installing the update, visit https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html The browser column should match the Google column 2. You can also use the Characters app shipped by default to verify that the emoji seem to work ok. Regression Potential ==================== Except for being rebuilt from source in Ubuntu, this is basically the same emoji font Google ships in the latest Android. We can easily verify that the update is successful by completing the 2 test cases above. Other Info ========== Google does a major update of this font once per year corresponding with the annual release of the new Unicode standard and Android. Proposed pango update: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/merge_requests/15 gtk3 could then probably use an update to get the new emoji in its emoji chooser. Most other GNOME distros (including Debian Testing and Fedora 28) also use this font as their default color emoji font.
