In-app emojis don't follow system emojis

[Miepee]

Describe the bug In-app emojis don't follow system emojis and instead use the same emoji set that the emoji-picker uses (Google's Android 8 emojis).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open SchildiChat
2. View an emoji in a room, or send one.

Expected behavior Emojis should use the system font to draw emojis.

Screenshots Top shows the emoji SchildiChat shows, bottom shows my keyboard's emoji picker.

A couple more things that might be interesting:

• So you have a custom emoji font installed, or it just doesn't follow your Android's default one? If you have a custom one installed, how did you install it, and do other apps properly use it?
• Do you use a CustomROM, or the stock operating system that came with your device?

1) I don't have a custom emoji font installed, this is my default one. Most other apps do use these properly. 2) stock rom.
