The latest Google Chrome (aur) does not render emojis correctly

Hi everyone.

It seems that since the latest update, emojis are not rendered correctly. I just noticed that some calendar events display the wrong characters.

Initially, I thought it was somewhat related to some system configuration, but Firefox and Google Chrome from Flapack work with no issues.

Using this site as a test: https://www.fileformat.info/info/emoji/browsertest.htm

Is someone experiencing the same issue?

This is https://www.compart.com/unicode/U+20E3

fc-list :charset=20e3

It seems no font for the glyph is resolved and it's also supposed to be a ligature (but the ligature fails w/o the glyph)
Fwwi I get the same behavior w/ some chromium 123.00 build from the repos, but my emoji coverage is generally low.
