Bug Description

Unicode 13 was released a month ago. The Pango library needs to be updated for the new emoji sequences for emoji that are implemented by multiple emoji in sequence to appear as a single character instead of as separate parts. For instance, https://emojipedia.org/black-cat/

By doing this update for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS now, it will be easier to get full Unicode 13 support once Ubuntu's color emoji font (fonts-noto-color-emoji) is released with Unicode 13 support in a few months.

I don't believe a freeze exception is necessary for this improvement now.
