urxvt -fn 'xft:Source Code Pro-9,xft:Noto Emoji-9'
And see the manpage for the corresponding xrdb resource.
As the vanilla version is very picky reg. the glyphbox size, also consider https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rxvt … ideglyphs/ for an easier life.
I was using urxvt for the terminal (emulator) which I believe was the crux of it - from what I have gathered does not work with emoji's. Moving to Termite solved this.

You need to use a terminal emulator which supports displaying emoji, e.g. gnome-terminal. And you probably need to install a font. Browsers such as Firefox include an emoji font, but that does not help you for the terminal.
So try this:
sudo pacman -S gnome-terminal noto-fonts-emoji
Emoji's are dispalying correctly in the browser, but when copy/pasting the emoji into my command prompt, I get a blank square instead.
It's the same when I load up my CLI email program (mutt), the subject lines that contain emoji's are coming up as blank squares. They display fine when viewing my webmail in my browser.
I know my system has emoji's installed as they are displaying fine in my browser, but my command line does not handle any.
What am I missing? Any help appreciated!
