ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola is a recommends in platform.bionic desktop-common so it's installed for every Ubuntu desktop flavor (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, etc.).
It's a transitional package now depending on fonts-symbola.
The package description is
"This package includes the Symbola font, which contains special symbols and emoji characters which are encoded in the Unicode Standard 9.0."
It was added to the seeds in LP: #1137630 explicitly for emoji support.
Ubuntu Desktop (and Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE) now include fonts-noto-color-emoji for this instead.
Should we replace fonts-symbola with fonts-noto-color-emoji? Or should we drop it entirely?
The only other Color Emoji font I expect to be available in Ubuntu soon is EmojiTwo. EmojiTwo lags behind in supporting the latest emoji standards. |

GTK+ in Ubuntu 18.04 supports color emoji. Qt does not.
fonts-symbola has installed-size 3,178 kB according to apt
fonts-noto-color-emoji has installed-size 7,277 kB
