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.

[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
and changed 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]
I do not intend to prepare this update for Ubuntu 23.04. People are
encouraged to upgrade to 23.10 for UI improvements and 23.04 will reach end of
life around January.
This update does not require nototools to be updated.
This update is a prerequisite for a GNOME Characters update for Ubuntu
23.10. See LP: #2045056
