+- Running `spin`, the emojis in the command list don't show up.
+
+Your terminal font may not include emoji characters. E.g., if you use
+noto on Arch Linux the emojis are installed separately:
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji
+fc-cache -f -v

 ## History
 
 The `dev.py` tool was [proposed for SciPy](https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/15489) by Ralf Gommers and [implemented](https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/15959) by Sayantika Banik, Eduardo Naufel Schettino, and Ralf Gommers (also see [Sayantika's blog post](https://labs.quansight.org/blog/the-evolution-of-the-scipy-developer-cli)).
