Chinese characters:

• Ubuntu/Debian:
  • sudo apt install ibus-sunpinyin
  • sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  • sudo apt install fonts-wqy-zenhei
  • ibus-daemon -d
  • Log out and log back in
• Arch (some packages from AUR via yay):
  • yay -S ibus-sunpinyin
  • ttf-ms-fonts
  • yay -S wqy-zenhei
  • Log out and log back in

Emojis:

• Ubuntu/Debian:
  • sudo apt install ttf-ancient-fonts
  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:eosrei/fonts
  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt install fonts-emojione-svginot
  • Log out and log back in
• Arch (some packages from AUR via yay):
  • yay -S ttf-ancient-fonts
  • yay -S ttf-joypixels
  • Log out and log back in

Note 1: Japanese characters are also rendering properly, but I only tested this after installing the above packages.
Note 2: I also tried to change fontconfig's configuration files and also added my own with no success.
