@Michael: thanks for the info :)

can you please link to those bugs you found (i.e. the source that says
it's working on other platforms with Qt) as well? so it's easier for
other people to keep track of the different pieces

Title:
  Emoji skin tones are rendered as missing characters

Bug description:
  U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF are not rendered in the messaging app.
  Instead the "empty rectangle" missing-character symbol is rendered.

  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.
