Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 18.10 already include Google's color emoji font for Unicode 11 (LP: #1788256) but neither Ubuntu 18.10 nor 18.04 LTS are able to display the new combinations introduced in Unicode 11 such as red-haired people. Test Case ========= Copy and paste the red-hair man 👨🦰 into gedit. It should show as a single character. Regression Potential ==================== Although the code was written several weeks ago, it was only released in pango 1.43 (a development release) today so it's not seen many users yet. On the other hand, pango does have a test suite run during the build and as autopkgtest and those tests still pass. I haven't seen any issues yet and we'll work to fix any issues that do develop. A significant portion of the change set comes from the Unicode data sets and from the Chromium Unicode/Emoji parser. Both of those parts have received wider testing and use over several months. Other Info ========== This issue is easy to fix with Ubuntu 18.10 but it may not be practical to try to update Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for this feature. GTK's "Insert Emoji" feature will need to be updated to offer these new emoji.
