Hello,
sadly not all new emotes are available for me, even noto fonts emoji is up to date:
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji
Warnung: noto-fonts-emoji-1:2.047-1 ist aktuell
e.g. Head Shaking Horizontally doesn’t works.
This is shown instead:
Used it on my mobile in WhatsApp, with WhatsApp Desktop it doesn’t work. In other programms it doesn’t work too.

I have this in my fontsconfig ( ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
)
<match target="pattern">
<test name="family">
<string>sans-serif</string>
</test>
<edit mode="append" name="family">
<string>Noto Color Emoji</string>
</edit>
</match>
Maybe it would be helpful to you?
It looks like this AUR package does something similar;
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/75-noto-color-emoji.conf?h=noto-color-emoji-fontconfig
(You can opt to use the AUR package itself, or copy some or all of that config to your own)
Does this emote work for you

I get various things depending on where I paste it:
Here ↔
Terminal <200d>↔<fe0f>
Sublime text ↔ except the second one is a circular arrow and there seems to be a dot or something inbetween
Presumably because:
The Head Shaking Horizontally emoji is a ZWJ sequence combining Slightly Smiling Face , Zero Width Joiner and ↔️ Left-Right Arrow . These display as a single emoji on supported platforms.
I guess it’s not supported properly yet.
EDIT:
The left right arrow looks different in preview, like this
Then it seems to be a global problem of Updating the font or the interpretation of these emotes.
It looks like this in terminal - but who needs emojis in terminal …:
It shows up correctly in Editor (Mousepad) and in Libreoffice as well.

If you have software that prints something containing it, other emojis do work if I remember correctly.
I don’t have mousepad but it does show properly in Libreoffice Writer, I thought I tested the latter earlier today but I forgot to allow scripts on the linked site, and the last thing I’d copied was the non working one from here.
there is not any choice here anymore - only a heart I can give you …
xabbu:
* run0 gained a new switch --shell-prompt-prefix= that permits passing
in a string to display on each shell prompt as prefix. If not
specified otherwise this will show a superhero emoji (🦸), in order
to visually communicate the temporarily elevated privileges a run0
session provides. This makes use of the $SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX
environment variables mentioned below.
fancy !
Who cared / implemeted this? (rhetorical …)
I’m getting old …

It does look correct to me.
But it did not at first.
So theres a few things to mention.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts#Emoji_and_symbols
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Font_troubleshooting
And back to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
I now have the following inside
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Sans</family>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
<family>Noto Emoji</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Serif</family>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
<family>Noto Emoji</family>

<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Noto Mono</family>
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
<family>Noto Emoji</family>

Which seems to work alright, and be used in firefox once the above steps are taken.
