What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

• OS: macOS and windows
• Python: 3.10
• Pillow: 9.2

for mention in mentions:
    tweet_id = api.get_status(mention.in_reply_to_status_id).id

Simpler reproducer without Tweepy:

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

text = "thread emoji: 🧵"
im = Image.new("RGB", (500, 100))
d = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
# https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/notosansarabicui/NotoSansArabicUI%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf
fnt = ImageFont.truetype("NotoSansArabicUI[wdth,wght].ttf", 30)

d.text((20, 20), text, font=fnt)

im.save("output.jpg", format="JPEG", subsampling=0, quality=100)

With macOS/Python 3.10/FriBiDi not installed:

So you can actually get Pillow to work with emojis, and you can get Pillow to work with arabic characters, just not both in the same font? I think this is just a duplicate of #4808.

Perhaps the most helpful comment in that issue at the moment is https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/4808#issuecomment-1141719845, where a user describes how to merge two fonts into one using Python.
