Works Just Fine For Me under mintty, configured with charset encoding 
UTF-8 (for Windows cmd use chcp 65001 IIRC), font DejaVu Sans Mono 
(Cygwin package dejavu-fonts).

Depending on your font selection, you may have to add fallbacks, using 
Windows font linking (below); using e.g. GNU Unifont (Cygwin package 
unifont-fonts), Unicode BMP Fallback SIL font, and Apple's Unicode Last 
Resort font; see:

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font

	https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/input/font-technology#font-linking

MS has added Seguiemj.ttf "Segoe UI Emoji" containing some recent emojis 
to recent Windows.

NOTE: Cygwin font installation only makes it available to Cygwin console 
graphics (e.g. gnuplot, R) and GUI apps using libfontconfig, it does not 
make it available to Windows apps, you have to install the OTF/TTF files 
manually from Explorer as usual.
