You can probably force your system to use black and white emoji everywhere
by creating a file ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following contents
(It is weird that colour emoji don’t work, but I have no idea at the moment
what could cause this):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fontconfig>
        <!-- Prefer to match color or black-and-white emoji font. -->
        <match>
                <test name="lang">
                        <string>und-zsye</string>
                </test>
                <test qual="all" name="color" compare="not_eq">
                        <bool>true</bool>
                </test>
                <test qual="all" name="color" compare="not_eq">
                        <bool>false</bool>
                </test>
                <edit name="color" mode="append">
                        <bool>false</bool> <!-- ◀ Choose here -->
                </edit>
        </match>

<alias binding="same">
                <family>emoji</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Symbola</family>
                        <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
                        <family>Emoji One</family>
                        <family>Noto Emoji</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>

</fontconfig>
