• Emoji in Qt 6.9

  

  Emoji are quirky and fun, but it's also one of the world's most popular writing systems. In 2022 it was estimated that 92% of the world's online population used emoji for expressing themselves.

  Supporting color fonts is a pre-requisite for supporting emoji, and Qt has had such support on macOS and iOS since Qt 5.2. For Windows and Linux/Android (Freetype), support came a bit later, in Qt 5.7. But as the domain has evolved, Qt has not quite kept up with everything. In Qt 6.9 we fill in the gaps and modernize our emoji/color font support across all platforms.
