Description:
With google-noto-emoji-color-fonts installed (and symbola, if that makes a difference) many emoji fonts don't show up in Qt applications. Those that do show up as lineart.
Applying the fontconfig found at https://gist.github.com/charveey/091b11ea554436d15c7fffcf01129a8a fixes the problem completely.

See upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436156

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a KDE environment, open konsole.
2. Type: notify-send "👍🏻"
3. A notification will appear, but it doesn't show a complex emoji - it just shows two empty boxes.
4. Create the 75-noto-color-emoji.conf config from the website listed above
3. Repeat step 2 above, and see that it now works.
