Attached the little file I use to test emoji rendering. all of which are rendered fine in my older konsole5 version (20.11.70) built against Qt 5.9, using the basic `cat` command to display it (but also in vim).

I did have the kind of problem evoked, and as far as I understand it is usually a question of using an outdated or improperly configured emoji font. I do remember updating my emoji font That was in oct. 2021 if file dates are any indication, so I no longer remember the details of what I did.

NB: konsole will (of course?!) use the B&W/outline version of emojis, so if you configure a colour emoji font you'd have to make certain that it contains the B&W versions too...
