I just saw that this PR got merged a while back:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/12

It’s available in libxft 2.3.5 or newer. It means that xft programs (like st) can have color emojis after all. 🤯

It didn’t work for me because I had a conflicting font installed (otf-unifont).

… the only problem is implementing “font fallback”: Finding a font that supports a given glyph. Xft doesn’t do that for you.

st implements this, but it’s a pretty nasty clusterphoque. I’m not going to do this in my own programs. 😒
