[Solved] Emoji fonts in URxvt

I'm attempting to get emoji (and ideally the entire utf8 set) working in my terminal and other programs.

In my .Xresources I previously had just Terminus, I've found that Symbola is the font that you want to display emoji? So I figured that the following line would work but emoji characters are still not showing up after restarting Awesome WM and restarting my terminals.

URxvt.font:                    Symbola,xft:Terminus:pixelsize=16

Any hints or tips on where to look would be much appreciated!

My bad, I'm stupid.

You need to restart Xorg server before the .Xresources settings take effect. I was just restarting Awesome WM.
