[Bug 1137630] Re: Emojis are not shown in ubuntu applications (and phone)

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Adding Emoji to the Ubuntu font is bug 820034. That isn't necessarily a
good idea. However, the problem of "Emojis are not shown in Ubuntu …
phone” could be solved in many other ways -- for example, by shipping
Symbola or Noto. So this belongs, at least, to ubuntu-touch-meta.

** Project changed: ubuntu-font-family => ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  Hi,

  As Ubuntu is being ported to tablets and phones, where communication
  is an important aspect of their fonctionality, I would like to ask
  whether it would be possible to add the glyphs of the emojis and other
  symbols, which have been defined in Unicode 6.0 and 6.1 to the Ubuntu
  font.

  If I am correct, the emoticons/emojis are code in Unicode from U+1F600
  bis U+1F64F.

  However, other symbols like broken heart and others might also be
  interesting, for example: U+1F493 - U+1F493, U+1F4A1 - U+1F4A6, U+2639
  - U+2642,...

  For those interested, these glyphs are currently included in the
  fonts-vlgothic package in the Ubuntu repositories.

  Cheers
