Bug Description
U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF are not rendered in the messaging app. Instead the "empty rectangle" missing-character symbol is rendered.
These characters are the "EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE" characters. They are meant to indicate skin tone of the preceding emoji.
I know that on the messaging app, all emoji are currently rendered as black and white. I assume that is a design choice. In the case we given specific color information, we either could render the color as requested or ignore it. But in neither case should we show the "missing-character" symbol.

Can we revisit using the colored Emoji's? I recall we were waiting for proper support to land in qt. regarding this bug perhaps there is a missing font that we need?
