What do you mean by "should accept"? Emacs tests the fonts for support of the script it needs to display, and generally uses the first one that passes the tests. If you want Emacs to use a particular font for a particular script, you should customize your fontset, as I suggested above. And btw, in my testing Noto Emoji's support for Emoji sequences is inadequate: it seems like it doesn't have the information necessary for displaying sequences as a single glyph, even without the color. So I'm not sure you really do want Emacs to use Noto Emoji. > Reading main&news would be vastly worse with non-monochrome glyphs. Most people think otherwise. But again, you can customize the fontset to have what you want, just make sure you have a font that supports monochrome display of Emoji sequences.
