Kate doesn't show glyphs property

SUMMARY
Some of the nerdfonts glyphs are not rendered correctly. For example: ☁️ 🇬️
I'm using "MesloLGSDZ Nerd Font Mono" font. In GTK based apps (terminal) and in Chrome/Firefox they display just fine



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install "MesloLGSDZ Nerd Font Mono" from nerdfonts
2. Configure Kate to use it
3. Copy/paste ☁️ 🇬️ characters

I think it's somehow related to KDE/QT rendering in general - these symbols don't render properly in any KDE app (dolphin, konsole, klipper) but render just fine in GTK apps (lxterminal, nautilus, etc.)

Turned out it's a configuration issue: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/kde-doesnt-render-nerd-font-glyphs/30153/5?u=haizaar
