To see emojis in terminal, you need:
1. Terminal support for emojis (was added to Cairo 1.15.8);
2. Font with emojis support.
For the Emoji font, we recommend *Noto Color Emoji*, and a good alternative option would be the *Emoji One* font;
both of them support all necessary emoji glyphs.
Font configuration:
```
$ cat ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
```
(to apply the configuration, run `fc-cache -f -v`)
