Hi. The bug I'm referring to has been present since at least 2019 in every linux distribution with KDE. It concerns the correct display of colored emojis. This is a Qt bug that still hasn't been fixed. For example, when I receive messages with colored emojis via Discord, and a notification pops up, one emoji is colored while the rest are white without a background. It looks strange and off-putting to me. This should be fixed. I'm attaching an image of how it looks.

You can temporarily fix this by typing sudo nano ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and pasting and save this content there:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
 <alias>
  <family>serif</family>
  <prefer>
   <family>Noto Sans</family>
   <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
  </prefer>
 </alias>

  </edit>
 </match>

  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

Please fix it, I believe that once it's resolved, everyone, including me, will be happy :-)
