Public bug reported: Impact ====== Google has released the latest version of their color emoji font that is shipped with Android 9 "Pie". The new release is a major upgrade, including support for the new Unicode 11 standard. Some existing emoji were tweaked.
We need this update in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS so that the new emoji work. https://blog.emojipedia.org/whats-new-in-unicode-11-0/ https://blog.emojipedia.org/inclusive-emojis-coming-back-to-android/ Test Case ========= 1. After installing the update, visit https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html The browser column should match the Google column 2. You can also use the Characters app shipped by default to verify that the emoji seem to work ok. Regression Potential ==================== Except for being rebuilt from source in Ubuntu, this is basically the same emoji font Google ships in the latest Android. Other Info ========== Google does a major update of this font once per year corresponding with the annual release of the new Unicode standard and Android. ** Affects: fonts-noto-color-emoji (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: fonts-noto-color-emoji (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bionic ** Also affects: fonts-noto-color-emoji (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Impact ====== Google has released the latest version of their color emoji font that is shipped with Android 9 "Pie".
