| Feb 7, 2017 at 6:34 | comment | added | Salman Arshad | Agree with @SlippD.Thompson. The headings on Superuser.com use Arial font, however, the four emojis are rendered using Segoe UI Emoji (Chrome and Firefox, Windows 10). | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 11:16 | comment | added | Cornelius | Of course it answers the question "how they work". They are defined in the Unicode standard and part of the font. How they are rendered is a different question, as they get rendered like any other glyph supported by the font, e.g. "a" or "+". | |
| Feb 4, 2017 at 23:24 | comment | added | Slipp D. Thompson | @totymedli Technically true, but to be fully technically accurate the exact look also depends on the fallback font the system uses if the current font doesn't have the emoji codepoints. More practically, however, very very few fonts implement the emoji codepoints— 99% of the time you see emoji characters, you're looking at the OS's default emoji font. So “The exact look for them is different for each OS” isn't technically correct, but rather a for-all-practical-purposes-accurate assessment of present-day emoji rendering. | |
| Feb 4, 2017 at 2:45 | comment | added | oldmud0 | This doesn't answer the question, which is about how it's being rendered in Firefox, not why the emoji are there. | |

| Feb 3, 2017 at 16:07 | comment | added | Dan | @Stijn They're all white with black border for me using Chrome [56.0.2924.87] on Windows 8.1 Pro. imgur.com/L7p8Dkp | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 21:19 | comment | added | tomsmeding | For yet another variation: this is Firefox on OS X: imgur.com/a/3j5ou | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 19:42 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @Stijn Looks like this for me in Firefox. For some reason, my green background is a a circle for me. | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 11:17 | comment | added | phuclv | My personal Windows 10 displays it with color but Windows 10 Enterprise at work doesn't. There's no font called Souge Emoji in either cases. On Linux Firefox is the only one to display in color. That means Firefox uses its own renderer like aitap said. In Windows 10 it's colored sometimes and monochrome sometimes | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 7:40 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | @LưuVĩnhPhúc Word 2016 on Windows 10 displays it nicely colored | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 7:36 | comment | added | phuclv | It depends. Word 2016, IE and other applications on my PC shows that as monochrome except Firefox. Android uses a different technique for colorized fonts instead of layered fonts like Windows 8 and up. | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 7:32 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | @LưuVĩnhPhúc but "other applications" are also not all the same. As said, Chrome shows it colored as well, Microsoft Word by default uses the Souge Emoji font for these and it's also colored, Stack Exchange Android app also shows the globe full colored. | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 7:23 | comment | added | phuclv | the question is not about Unicode or not. It's about color in Firefox and monochrome in other applications | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 0:56 | comment | added | Braiam | @Stijn I'm using Firefox too and I see them fine (on the answer without green, on your comment with, without, without and with, in the question with). | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 18:54 | comment | added | Stijn | Oh, that's odd. I'm using Firefox. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 18:47 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | @Stijn, for me in Chrome both of them are the green-boxed checkmark i.imgur.com/Cv5RTFM.png | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 18:31 | comment | added | user2357112 | They might not have noticed due to poor font support. On my browser, the green backdrop doesn't show up. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 18:25 | comment | added | Stijn | Actually, the second one is (as you said) WHITE HEAVY CHECK MARK combined with VARIATION SELECTOR-16. ✅️ copied from the question looks like a white checkmark in a green box, ✅ copied from your answer looks like a white checkmark with a black border, and when I paste the variation selector after your ✅ white checkmark with a black border, I get the same ✅️ white checkmark in a green box. Screenshot of this comment for clarity | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 13:17 | comment | added | totymedli | The exact look for them depends on the font you use, because font are the things that define how a character should look and emojis are just characters. | |
