๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†”๏ธ in the screenshot you can see this shaking head emoji, as it is displayed in my terminal, it seems to not recognize the (newer) emoji made up of 2 unicode parts.

๐Ÿ™‚โ€+ โ†”๏ธ = ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†”๏ธ 

Do I need to update the emoji, font, where do I get one? Is there a configuration option in terminals, like xfce-terminal, for this?

Other "bugs" include:

  • the oil-barrel emoji is way to big for some reason.
  • some emoji are colored, while some have only one color

What is your experience with emojis in linux terminals, equally inconsistent to mine?
