-The rightmost block of face emoji should have skin tones applied, rather than shown in fallback mode as a tone swatch next to a yellow emoji, and the spacing on the text-mode (outline) faces is too wide, causing the line to stretch. Likewise, flags for ISO country codes are unsupported, while oddly region-coded flags are, and joined emoji (using ZWJ, the Zero-Width Joiner) don't actually join. Furthermore several sets of "big pixel" drawing characters are unsupported and just show up as codepoint numbers, and the circled numbers in the ruler are drawn double-width.

(The VTE team expects to have the emoji problems fixed in VTE 0.84, but that will take some time to be released and work its way through the various distro package pipelines.)
 
 On the plus side, `gnome-terminal` correctly shows the bright bar in the 3-bit color bars section in the upper left, doesn't stretch the outlined corner triangles in the right most "compass rose" block, and produces more readable and balanced line-drawing glyphs.
