This is a case to look with **Noto Emoji** font.

This tell us when we see emoticon with **dialog** logical font, most glyph come from **unifont** and some from other than **unifont**, which is **Noto Emoji** in my case.
An alternation is happened in same unicode ranges, `U1F624`, `U1F62C`, and from `U1F645` to `U1F64F`
