Cairo is often used together with Pango.
It is too bad that Pango does not support color emoji.

On Windows 10 you have pretty colorful emoji, but on Linux the emojis are black/white.

Removed bolding and now... looks fine like emoticons from 1980's

Why quoting apply italic no idea 😢😭😠👿🙁 probably vB js bullshit... that vB quoting is full of bugs

I don't think it's a bug, just a "stylistic" choice...

Stylistic bullshit Styles easely became incompatible under condition XYZ and then people fight with it for no reason or OK start to use monopolistic software who only provide all godblessed features

I have at least a few colored ones under linux:



and what I find really funny is that bold is not applied, but italic is:

/edit:
I'm wrong, bold is also applied. It's just a very small effect, here is without bold:

So what colors should be there? rainbow, nyancat, The Wizard of Oz, Ben-Hur, etc... some other vocal minority colors

I see those as colour emoji on my Linux machine, you just need to have a colour emoji font installed. Google's is quite nice, I use Apple's because I have to know exactly what others are looking at.
