Thanks for filing the issue!

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 68.0.3417.0 and on the latest canary 69.0.3457.0 using Mac 10.13.1 and Windows 10. 
Note: Issue is not applicable to Linux as emoji can't be seen for "catsu" too.

As the issue is seen from M60(60.0.3112.0) considering it as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged. Tentatively adding component "UI>Browser>TabStrip" please change if this isn't apt.

This emoji (U+1F99D) was just added in 2018, and almost no fonts have support for it yet.  When your system font adds support for it it should appear.  This isn't a bug in Chrome (or any other browser).

pkasting@: Must the tab strip title be rendered by the system? 

While it makes sense to me (as an implementor) that a window title must use some sort of system font, as a Web developer I'm surprised that the title doesn't follow the rendering process that the rest of the document does, which is able to fall back to fonts which support the character.
If you look at the page source, it's actually using an image there ( https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f99d.png ), not rendering via font fallback.

Sorry for the laziness (not checking), and thank you very much for the patient explanation!
