Symbola only provides monochrome emojis which looks pretty horrible. Uninstalling symbola makes emojis pretty again.
With symbola installed:

Without symbola installed:

That doesn't really make any sense seeing as font-symbola-ttf isn't a rundep of anything in the repo, it's strictly part of desktop.font, which isn't something we pre-install in the ISOs. You sure you didn't explicitly install this or the entire component?
