Yes, we discussed that recently. Showing colored emoji would be nice, but there 
seems to be precious little support for SVG in OpenType on Linux. AFAICT only 
Mozilla applications can handle emojione or twemoji at the moment. Even 
emojione-picker uses svg files instead. If there is high-level support for Gtk 
applications anywhere, I haven't found it yet.
There are options, adding plain svg files (850!) to the Onboard project, or 
parsing EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf ourselves (?). I'm not really looking forward 
to either, though. 
Are there any others?
