Install ttf-symbola from AUR (if you use Arch), it is a emoji font needed to work with it (yes it is white and black).

Same happens with git-s gitk. Installing "symbola" font, as suggested in the comment above, "fixes" the issue (the program no longer crashes).

Works with sudo apt-get install font-symbola on Regolith/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install fonts-symbola works for me (ubuntu 20.04)
