Qt has not auto-fallback, so this has to be activated for fontconfig. I just tried it myself on Arch (I am running) and didn't see the emojis. Then I did: - install fonts-noto-emoji - added configuration to /etc/fonts/local.conf (easily findable on the internet what is necessary) And now emojis are properly shown in konsole, as well as other Qt based programs. > I tried to set a different font, but to no avail.

The problem is that: - the default font you set is for text, and emojis are most likely not contained in the font you set - the libraries in use need to deal with missing glyphs in the defined font, and there are several ways to do it. One is to display TOFU This is not specific to KDE, but to fontconfig and how Debian handles fallback fonts.
