[Bug 1871972] Re: Update pango for Unicode 13.0

[Jeremy Bicha]

Yes, only 20.04.

** Description changed:

  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/
  
- Pango is used by many apps (particularly GTK apps) to display emoji.
- 
- By doing this update for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS now, it will be easier to get
+ By doing this update for Ubuntu 20.04 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.
