Custom emoji font

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm on Android 11 and some emojis are not supported so they appear weird, in emoji section of the keyboard, like some overlap, one emoji are split into 2 or more emoji which in turn overlap, and some don't appear what so ever, it's just blank box!

Describe the solution you'd like I use telegram which has an option for me to add my own emoji file, which doesn't have abovementioned issues they appear completely fine, so just like we can add custom text font file, it'd be nice if I could add custom emoji font file.

Use case Even though I may not see the final emoji say in a yt comment, due to android limitation, but since I can see what it is on my keyboard, I'd know what I typed and hence type the emoji I want, also others could see them so it's fine, plus I can have a set of emoji style I want on my keyboard, so that's nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any) Telegram

The user-provided font file is already used for emojis as far as I remember.

Do you mean I can add emoji font file in "Load custom font file" and it'll use it for emoji?

I tried doing it, but the emoji page was blank, and the main keyboard font changed and numbers went missing. I used this emoji font: https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Color+Emoji

@0-BlackSpectrum-0 you should use this TTF https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/raw/main/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

Thanks this works, although the number row still like that, emoji works, I'll have to replace the text font with my SYS font ie merge them, I wish heliboard took different files for emoji and text! Anyway Thanks again!

@Twilightssuperb After using this is there a way to revert back the text and only load the emoji font? I don't really like the text font. Is there a way to revert or change back the text font to default while maintaining the new emoji font?
