Picture showing the bug

Hi. The bug I'm referring to has been present since at least 2019 in every
linux distribution with KDE. It concerns the correct display of colored emojis.
This is a Qt bug that still hasn't been fixed. For example, when I receive
messages with colored emojis via Discord, and a notification pops up, one emoji
is colored while the rest are white without a background. It looks strange and
off-putting to me. This should be fixed. I'm attaching an image of how it
looks.

You can temporarily fix this by typing sudo nano
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and pasting and save this content there:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
 <alias>
  <family>serif</family>
  <prefer>
   <family>Noto Sans</family>
   <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
  </prefer>
 </alias>
 <alias>
  <family>sans-serif</family>
  <prefer>
   <family>Noto Sans</family>
   <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
  </prefer>

 <alias>
  <family>monospace</family>
  <prefer>
   <family>Noto Sans</family>
   <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
  </prefer>
 </alias>
 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
 <match target="font">
  <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
   <const>hintslight</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

Here is the link to the page where this bug was reported:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80434

Please fix it, I believe that once it's resolved, everyone, including me, will
be happy :-)
