If Pango decides to use a color emoji font, the results are pretty bad.
For example, this is Noto Color Emoji:

$ ubanner --trim 🙂
          ░▒▒█████████▒▒░
       ░██████████████████▒░
     ░███████████████████████░
    ██████████████████████████▒
   ▒███████████████████████████░
  ░█████████████████████████████
  ▒█████████████████████████████░
  ▒█████████████████████████████░
  ░█████████████████████████████
   ████████████████████████████▒
    ██████████████████████████▒
     ▒███████████████████████▒
       ▒███████████████████▒
         ░▒████████████▒▒░
               ░░░░

It's much better with (non-color) Symbola:

$ ubanner --trim 🙂
        ░░▒▒▒▒▒▒░░
     ░█▒░       ░▒█▒░
   ░█░              ▒█
  ▒█   ░██▒   ░██▒   ░█░
 ░█    ▒███   ▒███░   ░█
 █▒                    █░
 █▒                    █░
 ▒█                   ░█
  █▒   ▒█▒░    ░▒█░   █░
   ▒█░   ░░▒▒▒▒░    ░█░
     ▒█░         ░▒█░
       ░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░

I wonder if there's a way to ask Pango not to use color fonts.
