>     • freely licensed SVG assets for the Noto Emoji glyphs.

> After a few minor changes, our toolchain could also consume other free

> The trouble is, this work to separate the two parts hasn’t yet been done.

Okay, at least this explains what's going on.

I suspect the fact that C.UTF-8 is in Fedora isn't that well known. Does it
work correctly when you use C.UTF-8 instead of a Chinese locale?
