The appearance depends on the actual font used.
Firefox has a built-in "Twemoji Mozilla" font.
Chrome seems to rely on the client OS so the users have to extend it manually:

So the issue may be considered a feature request for Chrome to include a modern emoji font.

woxxom@ Thanks for the update.

As per commnet #1, this is a feature request for Chrome to include a modern emoji font.
Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev.

Thanks..

Chrome does not bundle fonts and instead defers to the OS for consistent rendering and improved coverage. We have no plans to bundle fonts at this time.
