Another possible approach to globally support emojis, is using fontconfig with a patched cairo. Google developer @behdad put in some great legwork with that . Details here:

I think what's needed is to assess whether the patch works, is viable to be part of ubuntu cairo binaries (or maybe kicked up to the source maintainers), makes sense as the approach to use, etc..

Count me in as another user looking forward to using emojis on my terminal, text editors, etc.
