I'm reading a lot about unicode and fontsets and trying to wrap
my head around it. I can't quite answer this yet, the font to display
U+1F37D is Apple Color Emoji. I get that emacs might not want
to enable that font by default, but emacs does use it by default to show
some emoji, though I don't see it listed when I do M-x describe-fontset.
The question is why didn't Emacs find that font when asked to display
U+1F37D, and why did that produce the "blank" display instead of the
expected tofu.
Okay, try with codepoints between D800 and DB7F: what does that produce?
I'm sorry I don't follow what you want me to do, can you be more specific?
"C-x 8 RET d800 RET" and tell what you get.

Sorry, same thing. db7f is the same as well.
