The emoji problem on Mac OS has to do with the system-level drawing
function, CGContextShowGlyphsAtPoint, that used at the Cairo layer, at
least in the version of Cairo that we're using. That function doesn't
support emoji glyphs.

A newer version of Cairo handles emoji glyphs:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/commit/416a0005ab6a2b9a709d05281025e3581d612989?expanded=1

So, I've put "upgrade Cairo" on my todo list.
