I'm using openSUSE 15.4, too, and in my Emacs (self-compiled from git two
weeks ago) I see both Emojis (image attached).

Here is the info I get for the second emoji.

```

            character: 🤷 (displayed as 🤷) (codepoint 129335, #o374467, #x1f937)
              charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))

In the output of `fc-list` I see the line

```

```

which is part of the `noto-coloremoji-fonts` openSUSE package.
