How to make color emoji work on Chrome for Linux

In order to support emoji on Linux, we will be using Noto Color Emoji font. The script is simple:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype
sudo unzip NotoColorEmoji-unhinted.zip -d /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/noto
sudo rm /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/noto/LICENSE_OFL.txt
sudo apt-get remove ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola fonts-symbola
sudo chmod 644 /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
fc-cache -f -v
rm NotoColorEmoji-unhinted.zip
