Emoji problem (missing or double)

[DamonT]

Even on this forum there is a problem with emoji. Some are doubled (once in lowercase, once in uppercase), and others like "rock" are not available.

Hi @DamonT,

I get this as well. You may not be able to see the emoji on your device, but if you were to select the rock emoji in your example, other users that are able to will see it (it'll just show up as a box for you).

All it means is that character support for these specific emoji is not support on your device/browser. For example, those on Windows 11 will be able to see it, but those on Windows 10 may not.

Some Emojis not showing in browsers (Edge and Chrome) - Microsoft Community

Hope this helps answer your question.

[DamonT]

I understand, but it seems to me that until a while ago it worked (and I have not changed, neither the computer nor the browser).

What about the double occurrence of emoji, is this also normal?

Please update your site to the latest release of the software. There have been bug fixes with emojis

He's posting a screenshot from this site @Marc Stridgen - so I think the bugs may still be there in this version.

Are you still seeing this?
Works fine for me in Safari, Firefox and Chrome

I think all it is that the emojis show capitalised and non-capitalised versions.

Yes, on newest Chrome, Windows 10.

Ok can't test it on windows, only MacOS

On your screen the emojis are visible twice.

Sorry for the confusion, I was only looking at the missing emojis.

Stuart mentioned that this is an issue with Windows ( Windows 10 21H2 )

The issue with duplicates we can see and will look into. The issue with broken images is unfortunately the operating system, as mentioned. You would need to update the operating system to correct that issue.

Guilty as charged you're honour

OS's periodically update which Emoji/Unicode standard they support. You're using something older than Windows 10 21H2 so you won't see and cannot use any Emoji that was added in version 13 of the standard. Upgrading to the latest Windows 10 release will give you more emoji. 🪟🥷🏻🥸

It does look like we're missing a check to see if the emoji can be rendered in your browser, so we'll get that addressed and also take a look at the duplicate results.

Windows 11 22H2 👍

Edit. Isn't it a bug that it shows double?
