Apple Color Emoji not found on kitty +list-fonts

[hanoii]

It's very likely this is not a bug, but I am confused. I've searched the issues and the web and there's mentions of being able to use this font, as well as Noto Color Emoji, but neither is picked up by kitty +list-fonts. So I guess they aren't monospace, is that so? Is there any way I can use emoji on osx?

emoji fonts are fallback fonts. list-fonts lists only fonts that are capable of being used as primary fonts. Emoji's will be rendered automatically using a fallback font regardless of what primary font is set.

Ok, I tried following this up more with this particular character "\U2139" is not find by any fallback, which I find it somewhat odd, it is supported by Apple Color Emoji.

This character is ℹ️️ which is pretty basic.

The font chosen by the OS for the text: U+2139 is  but it does not actually contain glyphs for that text
ValueError: character U+656e6f4e is not in range [U+0000; U+10ffff]

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib/python3.11/kitty/boss.py", line 1580, in on_focus
SystemError: <method 'get' of 'dict' objects> returned a result with an exception set

I also found the first about nerd font odd (Symbols Nerd Font Mono is invalid, ignoring), as I took it from the faq. I am using v.3.1.1 of the Nerd Font Symbol file, but I wonder what is wrong. The Nerd Font is still used though.

And finally, if I add

symbol_map U+2139 Apple Color Emoji It does work.

Ah, I now think this is a dupe of #7249 as this also started to happen on that version

[hanoii]

I wonder if you can comment on the symbol map not working for Nerd Font

Added #7308 for the above, we can leave this one be.
