Additional context
Try to reproduce the problem with kitty --config NONE if you cannot then post a minimal kitty.conf that reproduces the problem. If the problem involves interaction with some other terminal program post a minimal config for that program to reproduce the problem as well.

I tried to install https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/ttf-joypixels/ like described in #73 but yet to work

You didnt actually post the output from running --debug-font-fallback but I am going to guess this is because you have some COLRv1 based font on your system, fix that and you will be fine.

dup of #7140

Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry for my not being careful enough, COLRv0 based font fixed my issue.

For anyone interested in the solution, hope this helps:

1. it is my COLRv1 (segoe I remember) in /usr/local/share/fonts had conflicts with my global fonts, I kind of think its better to make sure fonts are installed globally in /usr/share/fonts/ and simply delete conflicting local fonts solved it
2. if everything fails for you, turn to this https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/o1n6fd/tip_for_anyone_struggling_to_get_emojis_to/
   this 100% works for everyone

and thank again for kovid to help me out!
