Crostini pasteboard doesn't seem to handle emoji well

Reported by alex.gay...@gmail.com, Nov 9 
Chrome version: (copy from chrome://version)
OS: Chrome

Repro steps:
1. Open up an application under Crostini (I've reproduced in gnome-terminal, Atom, and Signal Desktop)
2. In the host's Chrome, copy an emoji (e.g. from https://emojipedia.org/ok-hand-sign/)
3. In the Crostini application, try to paste it

Expected: You get a pretty emoji
Actual: You get the sad "unicode box" :-(

CCing nverne and jkardatzke as I'm not sure whether this is a platform or UI bug.

I'll put this on my todo list. Although I'm suspecting that we don't have the proper fonts installed in Crostini to render the emojis...which hopefully shouldn't be that hard to resolve if we are already shipping those fonts in Chrome OS.

For what's it's worth, Signal in Crostini is able to render emoji, although it's definitely possible it's just substituting images there.
