Re: "Is there a way to change the emojis in use by Lagrange? I..."
@skyjake IIRC the Noto Emoji fontpack from your site messed with right-to-left text.
And regarding support for emoji variants, like man, person, woman, would they be rendered if a fontpack would provide those?

@projectmoon AFAIK the domain name is hashed and a corresponding icon chosen from a limited set of pre-defined icons. You can set those manually for a domain by bookmarking it, and then editing the bookmark to put an emoji in the icon field. But only you can see the difference.
Only geminiprotocol.net has ♊︎ as the pre-chosen icon.
Same goes for the color scheme. The has can be changed by typing something in "Theme palette seed" field, which is reachable by clicking on the lock icon in the URL bar, then click on settings.

@michaelnordmeyer:

Not sure, but I'm leaning toward no due to my text rendering not handling them. HarfBuzz will surely do the right thing with ZWJs but my rendering code does not join any code points.
Off the top of my head, I don't know if the monochrome Emoji fonts Lagrange uses actually include many/any character variants.

I don't think it would render fully right. Flags for example appear as a two character country code. (Unless that's intentional?)
Is there a way to change the emojis in use by Lagrange? I want something more like the native system emojis. For example, the full moon on my capsule appears to be just a circle. But I'd like it to look like a moon. I've tried installing some emoji fonts into the font management, but that doesn't seem to do anything (I'm probably doing it wrong).
