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.

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.
