Hi, I'm using urxvt and am having some problems setting up fonts. These are my URxvt parameters specifying the fonts

URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:style=Semibold:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight, \ xft:PowerlineSymbols:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight, \ xft:Symbola:pixelsize=14:antialias=true:hinting=slight

Now, the emojis from Symbola does not appear and it only appears as a box



The same thing when opened in Gnome-terminal properly displays the emojis



Also, I have tried starting urxvt with the following options

urxvt -fn "xft:Symbola"

and it works but as you see Symbola is not a font for your terminal.



What am I doing wrong here? I've check my previous lines and it is right. Do you guys have any ideas? Much appreciated. I have also tried with other posts stating that Urxvt cannot display symbols properly and have tried them all. If I've missed any please let me know. The strange thing is that it works for Gnome-terminal and Urxvt with only Symbola fonts
