There are a few separate issues with emoji:

Reliably getting an emoji to render as an emoji rather than as a black icon (see this thread)
Missing emoji on different operating systems/browsers, particularly flag emoji missing on Windows (see this article)

This in-progress Chrome issue may improve emoji rendering as emoji rather than black symbols.

I’ve written about this issue myself here.

Perhaps a separate font-variant-emoji property should be created?

It's hard for me to understand in detail what this proposal is hoping to achieve. Are there web-platform-tests that cover the browser differences?

The outcome I would like to see:

Either Windows OS starts to include flag emoji or browsers themselves start to incorporate an emoji font that includes all emoji.
Chromium ensures that font-variant-emoji and variation selectors always lead to the correct outcome regardless of font stack.
