Public bug reported: Unicode 13 was released a month ago. The Pango library needs to be updated for the new emoji sequences for emoji that are implemented by multiple emoji in sequence to appear as a single character instead of as separate parts. For instance, https://emojipedia.org/black-cat/
By doing this update for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS now, it will be easier to get full Unicode 13 support once Ubuntu's color emoji font (fonts-noto- color-emoji) is released with Unicode 13 support in a few months. I don't believe a freeze exception is necessary for this improvement now. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/commit/06aab3539 ** Affects: pango1.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pango1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871972 Title: Update pango for Unicode 13.0 Status in pango1.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Unicode 13 was released a month ago.
