I can confirm this issues, emoji properly appear on android editor but does not visable after exporthing it.

If you need emoji, include emoji font with your project, there's no API to get system fonts on Android, and therefore system font fallback is not reliable and depends on device.

[nieyn]

I haven't set any custom fonts in my project; I'm using the system fonts. For users in China who use Simplified Chinese, emojis are invisible on both iOS and Android. This is not normal, because the system fonts that come with the devices should be able to display emojis.

System fonts are intended as last resort fallback (or for user generated content, if you let user select font), you should always set custom fonts.

• System font fallback are usable on desktop platforms.
• iOS emoji font use nonstandard proprietary format and is not supported.
• Android have no API to get system fonts, it will only work on stock Android, but might not work on custom Android distributions.
• Web have no system font support at all.
