[SOLVED] KDE Emoji Selector shows all squares

Hi! I have  a fresh install of Arch, with KDE Plasma as my desktop environment. The KDE Emoji selector behaves like the following picture:
KDE Emoji Selector
I have my locales set. The output of `locale` is:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Could you please help me fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] KDE Emoji Selector shows all squares

Can I ask why installing noto-fonts-emoji fixed the display error inside of Emoji Selector? When I had first installed Arch with Plasma and kde-applications I believe it worked fine for quite some time. Just recently mine too was only displaying boxes. What does noto-fonts-emoji do and I'm kinda curious what the problem was in the first place. I enjoy using GNU/Linux, especially Arch, because it's so bleeding edge, and thank you for taking the time to answer me (if anyone does ??) thank you!

Install /some/ font that provided the desired glyphs?
Please don't necrobump.
