I have deeply mixed feelings about this. We don't really have an emoji-font target or anything, and I sort of feel that 1) upstream should not gratuitously use gratuitous emoji for this, and 2) the user should install their own fonts when they have undisplayable characters... unless the actual functionality of the software is affected by missing fonts. Which this isn't.

Actually I would also like if emojis would not be used in pipenv, but convincing author to remove them is another thing. Functionality is not effected, but unrecognized unicode characters look like something is wrong with the software and basically now pipenv requires an emoji font to be installed in order for output to look properly. Maybe there are cases, when some emojis should give an information about what is going one, but if you won't able so see it, then you won't be able to understand the message.

The environment variable PIPENV_HIDE_EMOJIS disables use of emojis

You could ship a profile drop in enabling that.

This is what is going to happen:

If i get a font recommendation from upstream, it will be added to optdepends. If nothing happens, this is closed as "Won't Fix". This is a upstream problem, not a packaging problem.
