I tested 5.6 recently and it's still not actually in a state where it correctly renders image fonts under Linux, from browsing the Qt bug reports it looks like this only works on certain platforms currently and then only when using the native font renderer rather than the Qt renderer; I'll do a bit more investigation then file a bug report with Qt to track this.

These characters are the "EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE" characters. They are meant to indicate skin tone of the preceding emoji. I know that on the messaging app, all emoji are currently rendered as black and white. I assume that is a design choice. In the case we given specific color information, we either could render the color as requested or ignore it. But in neither case should we show the "missing-character" symbol.
