Holy shit did you decide the tiny pictures won't kill you? Congratulations on catching up to the 21st century.
Unicode emojis are tiny, standardized graphical characters—because apparently, writing words is too much to ask. 🙄
They work across devices and operating systems—except, of course, on your sad excuse of a system that lacks the necessary font support.
Good news! A small amount of ACTUAL MODERN FUNCTIONALITY won't kill you.
sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji
Of course you use Arch.
sudo dnf install google-noto-emoji-fonts
sudo zypper install noto-coloremoji-fonts
sudo emerge media-fonts/noto-emoji
sudo xbps-install noto-fonts-emoji
Just because your distro's a void doesn't mean your fonts have to be 🥲
