Implement emoji in Ubuntu

Bug description:
This bug is about implementing emoji display and insertion in Ubuntu,
desktop and phone.
I wrote a page about possible ways to implement emoji in Gnu/Linux systems:
http://probablement.net/txt/emojilinux
To sum it up:
* The first thing to do is having the Symbola font (in ttf-ancient-
fonts) as part of the default installation, so users can see
monochrome emoji. If I understand, it’s what is being done in bug
#1137630 (which is about not seeing emoji: Symbola certainly resolve
it but isn’t a full implementation of emoji as we expect them).
* The second thing is replacing Symbola with a proper colour emoji
set, like Emoji One, Noto Color Emoji, or Twemoji. There’s different
ways to implement this (layered colour font, SVG font, substitution
with individual SVG files, …) but if I understand correctly comment #6
in #1137630 FreeType is already compatible with colour fonts! (I will
update my page)
* An optional third step would be designing a custom Emoji set. That’s
more or less bug #820034 even if I’m unsure about it being part of the
Ubuntu Font Family, even if drawn in stylistically consistent way with
it.
* Lastly, we need a system wide UI to browse, pick and insert emoji. I
added some existing examples on the page; basically, the choice is
making it only for emoji or part of larger UI for inserting
characters.
