emoji selector all black and white

Debian testing (trixie).
A recent system update (in the past ~2 weeks) has caused the emoji selector to show emojis in black and white, see attachment.
Selecting an emoji and copy/pasting it elsewhere works just fine and the emojis show up just fine in yellow in other programs.

This happens when the emoji fonts are not correctly configured. E.g., when noto-fonts-emoji is not installed.

I do have the package installed:

```
$ aptitude search emoji | grep ^i
i A fonts-noto-color-emoji - color emoji font from Google
```

I have the same behaviour on 2 systems.

There also needs to be some font config settings. For reference, see https://forum.manjaro.org/t/emojis-in-applications-are-only-black-white-how-do-i-set-only-colourful-emojis/31190 and/or BUG 481459.

This is a downstream system configuration issue.
