Annually, the Unicode Consortium releases a new Unicode standard with new emoji. Internet communication platforms quickly adopt the new emoji and it's important that those emoji also work on the latest Ubuntu release. Emojipedia provides a list of the emoji provided by this font. Click the New link to see the new emoji. https://emojipedia.org/google/16.0/ Or see https://blog.emojipedia.org/google-debuts-emoji-16-0-support/ More background at https://jenniferdaniel.substack.com/p/breaking-the- cycle Test Plan ========= The test plan is outlined on this wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/EmojiFont Where problems could occur ========================== Sometimes there is an issue with the display of a particular font after the font has been updated. See LP: #2034986 for instance. Perhaps this is a bug with font caching. In this case, it is not believed that the color emoji font is used by GNOME Shell itself so a simple restart of any apps that use emoji should be enough to fix that issue. This could technically be a User Interface Freeze change, but the new emoji don't show in the Ubuntu docs or official screenshots. So there doesn't seem to be a need to notify the Docs team. There are no translations here so no need to notify the Translations team. Other Info ========== This update is only for display of the new emoji. It does not affect gnome-characters, the gtk3 or gtk4 emoji choosers, or any other emoji choosers.
