Ubuntu Adds Support for 118 New Emoji

A paint splatter, super-tired face, and a harp are among new emoji users of Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 LTS will be able to see and type after installing an update to the Noto Color Emoji font. Ubuntu, which has shipped this font by default since 2017, and has packaged and released an updated version containing the 8 new emoji added as part of the Unicode 16.0 standard. Unicode 16.0 went live in September and adds a total of 5185 new characters, including 7 new emoji code points and 1 new emoji sequence (to create the official flag of the Island of Sark).
