It's completely random. Works most days but fails once or twice a week.
Even though I open a fresh Chrome every day.
And yes reinstalling fonts-noto-color-emoji fixes the problem every
time.
** Summary changed:
- [snap] color emoji not rendered; many bw emoji rendered as boxes
+ color emoji
That's interesting information Daniel. Have you observed a pattern in
how/when the problem occurs? Does reinstalling fonts-noto-color-emoji
"fix" the problem (like in comment #25)?

Maybe not.
ls -ld /snap/*/current/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto shows that only one
snap has that directory (gnome-3-34-1804), and instead of containing all
the fonts but NotoColorEmoji.ttf it's the exact opposite: it contains
one font only, and that is NotoColorEmoji.ttf.

Curiously, fc-cat /var/cache/fontconfig
/0bd3dc0958fa22058ebb13e2872b-le64.cache-7.bork does not complain
about the cache file being invalid. It shows information about a bunch
of Noto fonts BUT! not the ColorEmoji one!
diff -u <(fc-cat /var/cache/fontconfig/*.bork|cut -d'"' -f2|sort) <(ls
FWIW 0bd3dc0958fa22058ebb13e2872b is MD5 of
"/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto". fontconfig keeps one cache file per
font directory.
The timestamp of the broken fontconfig cache file is May 15, 10:37. I
wonder what my computer was doing at the time.
'last reboot' indicates that I rebooted on
This time I successfully resurrected color emoji by manually removing
the file that fc-cache used to complain about. Or, rather, I moved it
aside, for study:
sudo mv /var/cache/fontconfig/0bd3dc0958fa22058ebb13e2872b-
le64.cache-7{,.bork}
Then I restarted Chromium and emoji are now colorful
FWIW rebooting also makes the problem reappear. snap info shows that I
last refreshed chromium 13 days ago, but I rebooted today to install a
kernel update, and color emoji disappeared.

[snap] color emoji not rendered; many bw
Thanks for your findings Marius. I can reliably reproduce the problem in
a clean and up-to-date focal VM with the following steps:
- snap install chromium
- snap run chromium # color emojis are rendered correctly
- snap refresh chromium --beta
- snap run chromium # color emojis are gone
-
Another experiment: while emoji are broken, I can do sudo fc-cache -s
-v, and it doesn't find any invalid cache files, and when I restart
chromium, I don't get color emoji.
But then I do sudo apt install --reinstall fonts-noto-color-emoji, and I
see a /var/log/fontconfig.log with an up-to-date
Yesterday I saw a notification about chromium being auto-refreshed,
restarted it, and today I noticed that color emoji are gone again.
I suspect the two facts are related.

I tired to figure out what exactly happens when I reinstall fonts-noto-
color-emoji. According to dpkg's output, fontconfig's triggers run.
fontconfig's postinst runs
# Force regeneration of all fontconfig cache files.
mkdir -p /var/cache/fontconfig
fc-cache -s -v 1>/var/log/fontconfig.log
Unfortunately the workaround is temporary. I rebooted and the emoji are
gone again.

The workaround worked for me too. I used the simplified version
sudo apt install --reinstall fonts-noto-color-emoji

I was affected as well, solved by removing and re-installing the `fonts-
noto-color-emoji` pacakge

(cross-posting my comment on the forum thread)
I’m seeing the same in a clean eoan VM (the chromium snap version doesn’t
matter, all channels exhibit the problem). Interestingly my work laptop with
the chromium snap from the stable channel doesn’t exhibit the problem, emojis
are rendered
