For example, call ucs-insert =E3=80=90Ctrl+x 8 Enter=E3=80=91 then =E2=80=9CGRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILI= NG EYES=E2=80=9D, then you get this char =F0=9F=98=B8. however, emacs doesn't show the char unless you explicitly switch to a font (Symbola) that contains the char. But the grinning cat shows in browsers. is there anything one can do for this? does emacs rely on OS's font substitution tech or does it has its own?
