I've found that this bugs affects applications other than gitk.
I'm developing an FLTK application in Rust, and I get the same problem
when my app displays a list of emojis (via hold browser widget).
Regarding the solutions:
- installing `unifonts` had no effect
- installing `fonts-symbola` had
ubuntu 20.04 solved by doing `sudo apt purge fonts-noto-color-emoji`

I hit this problem today (Ubuntu 20.04.03, fully updated) out of the
blue. My Python Tkinter program started crashing at startup immediately
with the reported error.
The problem disappeared the moment I ran the `sudo apt purge fonts-noto-
color-emoji`. Thanks!

I can confirm that `sudo apt purge fonts-noto-color-emoji` solved the problem
for me too.

I confirm `sudo apt purge fonts-noto-color-emoji` did fix this issue for me.
`sudo apt install unifont` did NOT solve it
I'm on Kubuntu 20.04 if that matters

`sudo apt install unifont` and restarting the computer does **not**
solve the problem for me, and it can still be reproduced via:
```
git init testrepo
cd testrepo
git commit --allow-empty -m
gitk
```
This might be because I also have manually installed
`~/.fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf` in order
Installing 'unifont' also made the crashes stop for me.

>From my research, this appears to be a bug in xorg library "libXft"
related to its lack of support for coloured emoji. It's logged as an
issue in the libxft project
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/issues/6) and has a
pending merge request

Unfortunately, gitk is crashing again when it tries to display the
symbol "". I don't know why it worked after installing the unifont
only to stop working shortly afterwards again.

I got gitk to not crash by installing unifont package. E.g.
sudo apt install unifont
the font isn't displayed in gitk properly (shows up as an empty square)
but at least gitk no longer crashes
