Emojis in Arch Linux

Emojis are everywhere today, on mobile and even on paper.

A simple and rapid post to give you a tip for your Arch Linux. I have recently been confronted to a problem with emojis : my browser (Brave) couldn't show emojis correctly, there was square instead.

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 !
