2023-11-28 14:57:39 Jeremy Bícha description [Impact] Ubuntu has included Google's color emoji font by default for years. Annually, the Unicode Consortium releases a new Unicode standard with new emoji. Internet communication platforms quickly adopt the new emoji and it's important that those emoji also work on the latest Ubuntu release. Emojipedia provides a list of the emoji provided by this font. Click the Show new link to see the new emoji. Click the changed link to see other changes that were made in this release. https://emojipedia.org/google/15.1/ Or see https://blog.emojipedia.org/googles-emoji-15-1-support-in-noto-color-emoji/ [Test Plan] The test plan is outlined on this wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/EmojiFont [Where problems could occur] Sometimes there is an issue with the display of a particular font after the font has been updated. See LP: #2034986 for instance. Perhaps this is a bug with font caching. In this case, it is not believed that the color emoji font is used by GNOME Shell itself so a simple restart of any apps that use emoji should be enough to fix that issue. This could technically be a User Interface Freeze change, but the new and changed emoji don't show in the Ubuntu docs or official screenshots. So there doesn't seem to be a need to notify the Docs team. There are no translations here so no need to notify the Translations team.
