Summary:

First discovered in the describe-bindings buffer (C-h b). Screenshot: http://0x0.st/ojN5.png

Buffers using outline-minor-mode will attempt to add navigation arrow buttons (i.e. show/hide) displaying emojis instead of arrows or text representation.

This occurs even when widget-image-enable => nil.

Appears to be introduced in commit 3a855c5dac1b5cc42ee57cebed0323d591b54c68

Steps to reproduce:

1. $emacs -Q
2. C-h b

Expected results:

Buffer navigation arrows are arrows.

Actual results:

Buffer navigation arrows are emojis.

Notes for the committer:

Do not use emojis in software designed for adults; what you see as whimsical appears to others as childish and unprofessional. While I cannot speak for vision-impaired users, this also raises the issue of whether emojis appropriated for functional use create yet another difficulty for those requiring screen readers.

As always, if you wish to add a feature to Emacs (i.e. not fix a bug) -- do not make that new feature enabled by default! This is incredibly rude. Document the feature and allow others to make their own choices.
