Noto emoji, a new black and white emoji font with less color

I have no problems with emoji in messaging, work or personal. Of course they need to be context appropriate, I don't want :kiss-face: from my boss.

Emojis in source code and program output, eh, not my style but it's harmless.

I've read of a project here that _requires_ emoji tags in the commits, instead of using "chore", "bugfix", etc. — that's a little too much for my taste.

Only they do not indicate anything critical. Not everyone has emoji-capable fonts installed.

I used to place emojies in our critical failure message box. Basically I have a list of 'bug' emojies, and would randomly select one to display in the message box.

Ideally no-one except developers ever saw this box, but gave myself a laugh at least whenever our app crashed in a bad way.

I dislike the chore/bugfix style too. In the title I just want to know what's changed, then perhaps why in the description.
