Description

As far as I can tell, `resvg` doesn't render [compound emojis](https://eclecticlight.co/2018/03/15/compound-emoji-can-confuse/):

Am I doing something wrong, or is it indeed not implemented (yet, ever)?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported screenshot and the related pull request #735, then reproduce the compound or ZWJ-joined emoji case in resvg. Determine whether the behavior is unsupported or caused by the reported usage; done means the example renders as a joined emoji rather than separate or missing glyphs.
