I'm on iPad, and see that weird emoji set. That's why I posted a screenshot, cos I reckon we all see different things depending on platform.

That must be the reason some posters on here don't appear agree with everything I say or think. Obviously a platform error.

Emojis are a standard that get slightly implemented differently by each operating system. IOS famously has shit versions, particularly the gun which they turned into a water pistol.

That said, the forum software might be involved as well.

Yep, that was my attempt humour/irony.

Glad it wasn’t lost on you.

Looks like a dude.

I think it's working now?

A little disappointed the gay family emoji only comes in one skin tone though

On ios I was seeing borders but they have gone. The preview post and the post itself are showing the correct icons. The thread preview (from the category, unread, recent etc) still shows a broken emoji but I don't care

It looks like it was trying to load the emoji's on http instead of https. I have no idea what icon pack it was resolving or how it was hitting it

Can someone else do a few tests in here please?

@voodoo Ferners don't know their symbols, it seems. That's the male symbol.

The female symbol is .

Try selecting from the picker

or start typing in the emoji like this (without the space after the first colon)

So yeah, safe to say there are a few unicode differences between Android and the pack loaded here, but emojis are like that.

Tried writing a search engine for emojis in an API years ago. Can take years for everyone to agree but at least all parties agreed on "banana"

I know that, but it turns my male shrug emjoji into a chick shrugging next to the male symbol

works fine here in terms of Chrome browser on Windows 10 doing what it says.

Edit:
on Android Chrome

@nta

Here's what I see when I edit your post:

So I presume that's android icons on the left and 'one' emojis on the right?

I think that's a different issue from the https one where half the icons didn't work or resolved to other styles
