Disable emojis not on mac

[vityas-off]

What problem does this feature solve?

Since emojis in the terminal not working out of the box in most of terminal emulators on linux and windows this results in ugly rectangles or poor glyphs instead of emojis. Also similar yarn issue: yarnpkg/yarn#960

What does the proposed API look like?

This is not API, just platform based switch.

We could add a --no-emoji argument. Also maybe you can file bug reports to the terminal tools you use so they improve unicode emoji support. (I don't have this issue using either the default elementaryOS terminal nor Hyper).

My terminal already support this, but not with defaults. I can edit my font config and turn emojis on, but still result looks not as good as on mac

also doing this leads to some bugs with selecting text:

so adding --no-emoji would be great option.

You're not the first to assume emoji support is available everywhere, ember-cli recently removed the hamster alias as well.

It does not just look ugly, it crashed on libxft https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/issues/6 specifically st that I am using here.
