Re: "A Treatise On Monochrome Emojis"
I am not so sure that the non-emoji mode you describe is a violation of the spec if it is not the default mode (it doesn't make additional network accesses or spy on you or prevent the user from doing something or anything like that), although it is also not what I suggested. Merely displaying nothing, or the Unicode number in a box, should be good enough.

TBH, I don’t know most flags, so letters inside flags (how it is with Noto Emoji) are much more understandable to me.

@tenno-seremel That's cool. I promote the color emoji sets in Alhena but it absolutely supports monochrome font emojis (in case that wasn't clear in my original post).
Original Post
A Treatise On Monochrome Emojis — Here and elsewhere I've read monochrome emojis are the absolute bees knees and the only way to view Gemini pages while maintaining one's smol integrity. I've seen this enough that I'd like to put out a public service reminder that Alhena supports not only four different color emoji sets but also monochrome emojis via the Noto Emoji font. On MacOS, you can even choose between Noto and the system's color font for a total of six emoji options. The nice thing...
