Cannot view emoji

[protist]

Reproducible with an empty config (terminator -u -g /dev/null)

Describe the bug
Previously, terminator would display emoji fine, e.g. 😢. This would work on the command line (e.g. zsh) or within programs such as vim. In the last few days or weeks, the emoji are not displayed, and there is a blank space instead.

I am using the font Hack, but this has worked fine in the past.

To Reproduce
Type in an emoji character.

Expected behavior
See the emoji.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS or Linux Distribution: Arch Linux
• Version: Up-to-date
  • terminator 2.1.1-3
  • vte3 and vte-common 0.68.0-2
• Display Technology: X11

Additional context
I also tested in Konsole, which works fine (both zsh and vim).

Since terminator itself hasn't been updated for a while on my system, I attempted to downgrade vte3 and vte-common to the previous version (updated 2022-03-30), but I couldn't get terminator to start.

EDIT

Looks like it might be a GTK issue, since I'm also seeing it in Pidgin. I'll test more and report back.

EDIT 2

It was just an issue with my font config. Sorry for the noise!
