I got a request at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049076 suggesting that google-android-emoji-fonts be included in the default Fedora installation.
It seems reasonable to me that we should have a font with emoji coverage in the default Workstation installation, and I don't think there is one at the moment. We have google-noto-color-emoji-fonts in Fedora 22, however, and I'd suggest going with that instead.
Any thoughts?

So... color? In what circumstances will that actually work?

As I understand it, only in the rather niche circumstance that you are Behdad Esfahbod and have a specially hacked-up Cairo (see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fonts/2014-January/001663.html).
The rest of us get greyscale, which looks like this: https://mavit.fedorapeople.org/tmp/Screenshot%20from%202015-02-08%2021:30:48...

The greyscale version still looks good, and I think a proper emoji font is something we should have by default. I do hope it'll work with color too someday.

FWIW, if you install the gdouros-symbola-fonts package, a wide range of the emoji show up (not in colour). But that doesnt fix the not having colour emoji, or an input method for typing with them.
