Ubuntu – Does Ubuntu 18.04 show filenames containing emojis in colour

18.04emojinautilus

I've recently transferred some files made on Mac OS, and containing emojis in their filename, to my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine.

The emojis show up in Nautilus, albeit monochromatic. Will I see them in full color if I switch to 18.04 LTS?

Best Answer

I tested this out in a VM, and it seems you can get colour emojis in 18.04:

  1. 16.04:

  2. 18.04:

The filenames were created over ssh from macOS using touch ??; the emojis entered using the macOS emoji picker.
