Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported rendering in VS Code with FiraCode and the πŸŒπŸ˜€πŸš€ examples. Compare the globe glyph with the system's color emoji fallback; done means emoji codepoints are not replaced by monochrome FiraCode glyphs while the other reported rendering remains usable.
