Any hints?
Certainly applications should have fallbacks to emoji fonts (depends on
font rendering libraries) and you need to have fonts installed. Mozilla
brings its own font. Do you have e.g. fonts-noto-color-emoji (dependency
of fonts-recommended)?
Concerning the issue with Compose keys, it is a rather low level
feature, so it should work for applications with proper support of
Unicode. I have no issue with xterm. Diagnostics:
setxkbmap -print
and "xev"
