</span>Sure, this is Google's attempt at encoding colour into fonts, but the<br>
characters themselves are ordinary Unicode characters, so<br>
interoperability between IM participants doesn't seem to be a<br>
particular problem, to me. Emoji look different from phone to phone<br>
and from website to website, but people mostly seem to cope fine with<br>
that.<br>

</span>Let's not get hung up on the fact that the font I suggested happens to<br>
encode colour. I can receive emoji IMs today via Gnome Shell's<br>
notifications.<br>
<br>
I guess the questions I'm asking are: are emoji now sufficiently<br>
common that we should include by default a font that can display them?<br>
If yes, what is the most suitable font for that?<br>
