Emoji's on ubuntu 14.04

Can you get emojis on ubuntu? Preferably without having to download a whole load of stuff. I have seen other answers but none that make much sense.

    found this package 

    sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts

    from http://ubuntuguide.net/add-emoji-support-in-ubuntu-14-04-ubuntu-12-04

    got black/white emoji, in text-editor & terminal.

  2. Basic emoji support(black and white) is enabled by installin the Symbola fonts package. If is not already installed in your system open a terminal and type:

    sudo apt install fonts-symbola

    Browsers like Google Chrome (Chromium?) and Firefox should be able to show web emoji fonts.

    Edit: while firefox web font emoji support was suposedly introduced in Firefox 50, some users claim they don't show while others clame they do.
