If I recall correctly, `guake` had/has a downstream issue where the terminal would crash because a dependency of a dependency of a dependency was 15+ years old, had no maintainers, no one wanted to take it over, and would hard crash if it encountered emojis.
The build-around was having to fiddle with a bunch of core system stuff (super descriptive on my part) with lots of overloading system packages and just... no thanks.
I did it once; never doing it again because then you have to deal with having a non-standard system from then on. Switched to `kitty` and have no problems with emojis.
tl;dr: If you are designing a CLI tool, please refrain from emojis.
