Neat! I think this is a cool feature to add, but in order to properly ship it we need to store a We also need to figure out the tint problem. |

This adds support for rendering color emoji in egui via a new opt-in `egui_noto_emoji` crate that bundles Noto Color Emoji sprites. Key features: - New `GlyphColoring` enum to distinguish color vs monochrome glyphs - Color glyphs bypass text tinting and render with original colors - Minimal API: `Context::register_color_glyph[_arc]` methods - Atlas persistence: color glyphs survive font atlas rebuilds - Deferred registration: glyphs registered before fonts init are queued The implementation addresses feedback from PR emilk#7333 and emilk#7707: - Fixes tinting problem (color glyphs not affected by text color) - Handles atlas repopulation when fonts are recreated - Aligns with skrifa+vello_cpu font backend (PR emilk#7694) - Minimal API surface as suggested by @lucasmerlin Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

#7298 and a discussion on discord made me realize that adding custom color emoji support would be quite trivial now, so I made this prototype:
Screen.Recording.2025-07-10.at.20.37.36.mov
It currently only works with dark mode, we probably need some flag on the Glyph that it has color data and should not be affected with any tint.
Also this won't work for loading fonts with color emojis, for that we need #5784 or ab_glyph needs texture data support. It's more for loading custom emojis like on discord and slack (which would be perfectly fine for my usecase)
