Doesn't do unicode/emoji?

Just tried rendering 🔥 but it gives this instead:

It also didn't do 中文

中文 became

I also confirmed same behavior, but it is hard for text2png to fix.

text2png depends on node-canvas, it depends on cairo.
Stable version of cairo(1.14.12) probably does not support emoji...

On the other hand, development version of cairo(1.15.8) supports emoji.

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
* Support colored emoji glyphs, stored as PNG images in OpenType fonts.

If you get and build the development version of cairo, you may be able to use emoji.
(I have not tried it yet)

@tkrkt is there a way to update the package to support emoji?

Thanks
