The main proviso here is that ligatures aren't working for the 'family' subgroup (holding hands, kisses, hearts, family combos), and eye in speech bubbles. This is a regression over the COLR font; it's not immediately clear why. The combination is picked up as a ligature, but it's drawing the individual glyphs rather than the custom glyph defined for that ligature, despite being present.

EDIT: fixed by matrix-org/twemoji-colr@1645460

From a quick visual inspection, it's now in sync with COLR.

it's very unfortunate that we're not able to use upstream for this. I have many fears about us forgetting to upgrade, or falling behind, or otherwise not maintaining our fork very well.
