Unicode emojis shown as tofu

[pidgin at alexoren.com]

I tried the noto-emoji smiley pack but when even after I switched to it I still see tofu in the previous messages

The theme file header says:

# Encoding utf-8
# https://github.com/radiocane/noto-emoji
Name=Noto Emoji
Description=All Google/Android emojis
Icon=EU.png
Author=White_Rabbit

And I verified that it has the definition of that particular emoji:

emoji_u1f61d.png	😝


If I open the log file in the browser, it displays the emoji correctly.

Please advise.
