I had a short look into GTK3, which uses Cairo for drawing and Cairo also uses the Microsoft GDI API.

Thanks for these tests and comments guys.

So unfortunately, we can't consider emojis as viable for Eclipse-based apps on Windows at the moment. I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=528749 .

If there are some thing that, even as a Linux user, one can do to help on this topic, feel free to create bugs and make me CC, it might be something I could work on (or get a colleague looking it).

Cheers,
