GIMP, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc all seem to have no problem rendering images with a transparency on top of a checkerboard background layer by default
You know you can layer that transparent image on top of another background, or just simply another solid color. You gotta ask, what is the intent of rendering the image in question?
Is it to render an internal UI component, such as a button or emoji? If so, use the UI background color as the transparency background.
Is it to render an external source image, such as the Wiki post? Then either use whatever background color is encoded in the transparency image, or if that data isn’t available, default the background of transparency images to white.
