How to make Chrome show emoji on Q4OS 4.10?

Hello! I have the exact same issue as in https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1255 (which ends without a resolution for the OP).

I've attached a screenshot from https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/psets/0/faces/ which demonstrates the issue of emojis showing up as a blank rectangle [] in Chrome.

How do I see the actual emoji?

Update:  It looks like it's not just a Web browser issue.  The following Python program also shows rectangles for the slightly smiling face and slightly frowning face emojis.  (But the other two work!)

```
# Import required libraries
from emoji import emojize
# smiling face with sunglasses
print(emojize(":smiling_face_with_sunglasses:"))
# grinning face
print(emojize(":grinning_face:"))

# slightly smiling face
print(emojize(":slightly_smiling_face:"))

# slightly frowning face
print(emojize(":slightly_frowning_face:"))
```

I installed the symbola font with `sudo apt-get install -y fonts-symbola` and after restarting my terminal and Web browser, the emojis are rendered.
