[Bug 1137630] Re: Emojis are not shown in ubuntu applications (and phone)

 

I'm the leader of the emojidex project https://www.emojidex.com . We're
trying to get our emoji on Linux as quickly as possible with a special
focus on Ubuntu Touch. Our license was written specifically to be GPL
compatible and I'd really like to see our emoji in wide use across Linux
platforms. If anybody would be willing to help us it would be much
appreciated. At the moment we're stuck on just compiling a font that can
be viewed.

Bug description:
  Hi,

  As Ubuntu is being ported to tablets and phones, where communication
  is an important aspect of their fonctionality, I would like to ask
  whether it would be possible to add the glyphs of the emojis and other
  symbols, which have been defined in Unicode 6.0 and 6.1 to the Ubuntu
  font.

  If I am correct, the emoticons/emojis are code in Unicode from U+1F600
  bis U+1F64F.

  However, other symbols like broken heart and others might also be
  interesting, for example: U+1F493 - U+1F493, U+1F4A1 - U+1F4A6, U+2639
  - U+2642,...

  For those interested, these glyphs are currently included in the
  fonts-vlgothic package in the Ubuntu repositories.

  Cheers
