Message field with emojis selected.

SUMMARY
Emoji (including reactions) are displaying using simple font glyphs rather than colour images, which also means many emojis do not display at all as they are not available in the font. I am testing using the snap.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install neochat snap
2. Open a chat and click the "emoji" icon.
3. Select an emoji to add to your message.

OBSERVED RESULT
The emoji is displayed either as a blank-and-white font glyph, or as a box representing a missing character.

EXPECTED RESULT
The colour emoji is displayed, matching that which was selected.
