--- Comment #2 from Clément Hardy <clem.hardy at outlook.fr> ---
Thank you for your answer, Stuart, which does help to understand the issue
better.

> Emojis are a single Unicode point. When that Unicode is pasted into a run of text you are saying use the same font as the text. If the font does not contain a glyph covering the emoji--you will get font fallback with unpredictable results.

This is strange to hear, as any emoji (even coloured) still displays relatively
well in the editor, despite the non-respect of the width.

I also find it strange to classify the issue as resolved, and not being a bug.
I am not entirely familiar with the procedure here, but the issue is still
there, and emojis are still not usable in Impress. Meanwhile, they are
available and usable in other main office software. I'm not sure that this is a
design choice from the LO team; and while I have no right to demand for any
fix, it seems to me to ideally require fixing.

In addition, the proposed workaround does not work, as Impress is not capable
of dealing with images anchored as characters. An issue about this is still
open
(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35033&redirected_from=fdo).
Hence, the only way remains to find the emojis as images online, to past them
as objects, and to awkwardly adapt the text around them. Needless to say that
this is less than ideal.
