I recently noticed that my og images were missing emoji.  They were taken using
headless chrome in a container.  I fixed it by adding an emoji font in the
containerfile / dockerfile.

``` Dockerfile
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    # Add fonts with emoji support
    fonts-noto-color-emoji \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
```

## Before

Here's what they were looking like with broken emoji fonts.

## After

And now with the fixed emoji font.
