echo ☠ | lemonbar -p -b -B #000000 -f JoyPixels-15
The panel is showing the skull and not the face. From what I can tell, emojis with less than 5 digit codes are working. There must be a fix for this, right!

The problem is actually not a font issue, but a shell syntax problem; so it's not a Emoji Font Issue - the font is not used at all.
The character # starts a comment, so the line
echo ☠ | lemonbar -p -b -B #000000 -f JoyPixels-15
is the same as
echo ☠ | lemonbar -p -b -B
You can escape the # and use \#000000, or quote the whole string and use '#000000'.
But you can not use '\#000000'!

There is a fork (Of a fork) that I found, I didn't look at what exactly was changed in this fork, but for me it solved the emoji problem.

The fork I mentioned doesn't seem to support clickable areas, but luckily I found another one. It's just one commit ahead of the xft-fork, and that one commit added support for more utf-8 chars. Here is the link:
