Install emojis

As simple as one command line:

$ sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji

There are few providers to install an emojis' library, I choose the standard one. You can find a list of providers here wiki Arch Linux.

Don't forget to clear the font cache now, to generate the new charset table (fc-cache -r), reboot your browsers and any windows which use emojis, and it's done !
