Font conflict between Noto Color Emoji and Arabic in Doom Emacs


In Doom Emacs I have this setting that allows me to set this particular font only to Arabic characters.

(set-fontset-font t 'arabic "Noto Naskh Arabic")

Here's a visual representation (notice the emojis in the Qtile bar):

However, when I install the Noto Color Emoji, it overrides my setting in Emacs:

Removing the font reverts me to the prior state. I don't know if the issue can be fixed in the system or in Emacs' settings, which is why I'm posting here.

I'm on ArcoLinux.
