Thanks for joining, Akira!

If I understand you properly, your suggestion is to override the font specified by the website whenever displaying emoji characters, e.g. ignore the fonts requested by the website's CSS:

font-family: Arial, sans;

and instead ask fontconfig specifically for the emoji font (somehow), but only for the specific characters that are emoji. All emoji characters would need to be somehow split out by WebKit into separate font runs (not sure if I'm using the correct terminology there). We could certainly try to do it....

The results would be unexpected if the website uses a custom emoji web font, though, since that font would then be ignored. That's not great. Maybe matching Chrome (so changing nothing) would be best.

I wonder how Apple handles this.
