Dealing with Emoji Display Issues (RPi)

Guides

If emoji icons (:cross_mark:, :white_check_mark:, etc.) are not displaying correctly in terminal output (Or browser), install the Noto Color Emoji font:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fonts-noto-color-emoji
fc-cache -f -v

After installation, restart your terminal or log out and back in (reboot is also a good option).
If emojis still don’t display, ensure your locale supports UTF-8:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
