Color Emoji's on Web gone since Flutter upgrade

[Skquark]

There's been an issue with the emojis showing as black & white instead of the standard color emoji fonts since a Flutter 3.7 update a few months ago. As a result, I've had to pin my Flet install to flet==0.4.0.dev1070 since my project relies heavily on using Emojis everywhere, and primarily run on Web, and looked awful with the b&w simplified emoji font. I've been keeping up with the issue and the many complaints for a while waiting for a resolution, and there's finally a fix that needs an initializer for it to work.. See issue at flutter/flutter#119536 where the final post gives instructions to opt-in to the fix. "In order to get color emojis in your app, you need to pass useColorEmoji: true when initializing the engine (described here)."

Also saw a related issue here #957 with similar complaint. Hope this fix can be applied soon for the next flet release, I'd like to be running the latest since there's a few other upgrades to it that I'd like to take advantage of. Thanks.

OK, flutter/engine#40990 was merged yesterday. There is no Flutter release with it yet. Will integrate the feature when it's released.

Test snippet:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(ft.Text("Emoji: 📸 | 😂 | 📝 | 😉"))

ft.app(target=main)
