Emojis in Topic Titles Will Be Removed

[REBdomine]

Works for me. They don't belong in topic titles.

Can't say whether or not they "work" in Edge. I don't see them used often.


I see the one in Linette's user name.

This is a matter of implementation. Emojis are sometimes images.

Most people cannot see cell phone emojis and/or don't want to as they make forums look messy. We are trying out something that will remove them from topic titles. They will remain in post bodies for now.

This sounds like a ProBoards bug. If the theme's font selection doesn't support emoji, then the problem is with the theme code, not the people. I think most websites use some kind of polyfill for this.

Assuming you haven't completely f'd your font family, emoji are handled by your platform fonts. Windows, for example, can't display regional flag indicators

Pøĸē,
Truth.

All I see is alt text when people put flag emojis online.

The rabbit hole goes deeper... Regional flag indicators don't use zero width joiner sequences like other emoji. They're there own stupid thing.

Pøĸē,
When my coworkers try to use them, my work site and chat show a lot of them just as [OBJ] or some nonsense I can't even see.

Yes and no. Emoji support varies widely between fonts even on the same system. And some of the fonts are just ugly. That's why there's all kinds of polyfill libraries for this.
