** Description changed:

  Google has released a new version of their Noto Emoji font.
  
  I don't believe this requires a freeze exception since we should do
  these updates if possible so that emoji display correctly in Ubuntu.
  
  For more details, see
  
https://blog.emojipedia.org/google-march-2020-pixel-feature-drop-emoji-changelog/
+ and
+ https://emojipedia.org/emoji-12.1/
  
  If we don't take this particular update, the biggest downside will be
  that emojis show up as separate parts. For example, the gender neutral
  health care worker will appear as two characters (adult and the medical
  symbol) instead of as a single character.

- However, we will also need an updated Pango for those new combined emoji
- to display as a single emoji in apps using Pango (such as GTK apps).
