This also doesn't work from Android apps in Chrome OS, and the emoji pop-up keyboard also doesn't show the new emoji added in Android Pie.

At a minimum, the installed fonts need to be updated to have the new fonts in Pie which have the newer emoji glyphs.

Clicking through on individual glyphs on https://emojipedia.org/google/android-9.0/new/ also shows the broken glyph boxes.
 
(Also this is may be more of a component:OS>Installer issue since the fonts need to be updated.)
Components: -Blink Blink>Fonts>Emoji
Components: -Blink>Fonts>Emoji OS>Installer
This has to do with the ChromeOS bundled fonts, not blink font rendering. Updating category accordingly.
