Package: release.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:fonts-noto-color-emoji X-Debbugs-Cc: fonts-noto-color-emoji@packages.debian.org User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Tags: trixie [ Reason ] The Debian GNOME, KDE and Cinnamon desktops include Google's color emoji font by default. 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 Debian Stable release. [ Impact ] If this update doesn't happen for Debian 13, the new 17.0 emoji will not display correctly. For instance, the Ballet Dancer emoji will show as two characters: person and ballet shoes. New emoji like Fight Cloud won't show as anything intelligible. [ Tests ] I built this package on trixie and installed it on Debian 13. I successfully completed the "Test Case for Color Emoji Font" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/EmojiFont [ Risks ] This has no impact beyond color emoji. There is no other reasonable way to get the latest Google color emoji than to update to the new version. A similar update was done for Debian 12.3 for Unicode 15.1 with https://bugs.debian.org/1057156 [ Other Info ] The new emoji will not show in the GNOME Characters app since that update requires backporting changes from glib2.0 2.87. There may be a later update for gtk4 so that the emoji chooser will show the new emoji.
