How can an emoji be displayed?

[grymmjack]

Since we display unicode we should be able to display emojis? I know that we should be able to do this in terminals that support UTF-8. Just print out the unicode code point code to the terminal and it will display the emoji configured in the system? Or is this wrong?

Is it that when using a graphics screen mode the emojis will not render properly?

TBH I haven't tried to render an emoji in terminal yet. (the terminal must support it - windows terminal, xterm, mac terminal, etc. all do).
