Public bug reported:
Originally reported on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source

> In a default fresh install of XUbuntu 20.04, Qt based applications, eg
Featherpad and Qt-Creator, will not display certain unicode characers,
eg, U+1F9C0 CHEESE WEDGE 🧀 (a white rectangle is shown instead). Non Qt
apps, eg geany or gnome-terminal, show the cheese successfully. If Noto
fonts are manually uninstalled, then the problem is fixed; Featherpad
does display the cheese correctly. Conjecture: the Noto fonts were
providing a colour version of the cheese wedge; the Qt apps could not
display that but can display grey versions
Xubuntu does not include fonts-noto-color-emoji, but instead includes
fonts-symbola. While the Noto fonts are installed, Featherpad displays a
white rectangle instead of the B&W cheese wedge. Uninstalling the Noto
fonts leads Featherpad to display the correct emoji. I also tried
replacing fonts-symbola with fonts-noto-color-emoji, but to no avail.
