Bug description:
Impact
======
Ubuntu has included Google's color emoji font by default for years. Annually,
the Unicode Consortium releases a new Unicode standard with new emoji. Internet
communication platforms quickly adopt the new emoji and it's important that
those emoji also work on the latest Ubuntu release.
Emojipedia provides a list of the emoji provided by this font.
Click the New link to see the new emoji.

Test Plan
=========
The test plan is outlined on this wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/EmojiFont
Where problems could occur
==========================
Sometimes there is an issue with the display of a particular font after the
font has been updated. See LP: #2034986 for instance. Perhaps this is a bug
with font caching. In this case, it is not believed that the color emoji font
is used by GNOME Shell itself so a simple restart of any apps that use emoji
should be enough to fix that issue.
This could technically be a User Interface Freeze change, but the new
emoji don't show in the Ubuntu docs or official screenshots. So there
doesn't seem to be a need to notify the Docs team. There are no
translations here so no need to notify the Translations team.
Other Info
==========
This update is only for display of the new emoji.
It does not affect gnome-characters, the gtk3 or gtk4 emoji choosers,
or any other emoji choosers.
