Troubleshooting

my terminal is not displaying all emoji characters

Your mileage may vary on terminal support for displaying emoji consisting of 2 or more characters joined by a zero-width joiner character (U+200D). The "service dog" emoji (🐕‍🦺) is one such example. Even with a proper font config, it will appear on many terminals as a dog next to a safety vest (🐕🦺).

Currently, the best configuration tested with gmocli -li is the wezterm terminal with the Noto Color Emoji font installed and configured in your fontconfig. kitty also works well.
