** Description changed:
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/inclusive-emojis-coming-back-to-android/
+ https://emojipedia.org/emoji-11.0/
+
+ Note that several of the new combined emoji (like red-haired man 👨🦰 )
+ will need an update elsewhere (pango?) to display as combined.
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.
