I think unicode fonts render with your system font. You need to install an emoji font. An example is https://github.com/13rac1/twemoji-color-font.

Another option is to update your operating system.

They are emogi listed in the forum's own smilies index, so I thought they were part of the Xenforo forum software.
The issue would make more sense if they were emogi I tried to import. 😅

There seem to be a mix of unicode emoji (like what you'd type using your phone's keyboard) and custom image emoji (which can only be used here).

They even show normally when selected and loaded onto the post, but in preview and when posted into the forum, hey show as

They render completely normal for me since I’m on the latest iOS.

Updated Edge and checked it out with FireFox, and it appears to be a issue related to Edge that wasn't fixed by updating even.

I was about to blame Edge, but those specific unicode characters do not render on my device (Chrome on Windows) either. Since Edge ist just a reskinned Google Chrome that does make some sense. As mentioned above, installing an Emoji font could fix this issue.

If you want to test which Emoji unicode characters your browser can render you can check the Wikipedia page. The plunger is in the U+1FAAx row.

This is how it looks on my Google Chrome

This is how it looks on the latest Safari on iPadOS

Doesn't render right in Opera either 🤔

Fwiw the issue was https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/issues/580 and should now be fixed on our end (since sometime yesterday).

🪠 odd even when the post is made by opera the plunger is just a square

 

[Ivegotnolife]

Only Firefox renders the emogi that become squares correctly, but it has the same issues with Twitter TowaArt, and Pando's cntrl+C image inserts as my particular Edge 109 browser. Only Opera renders the embeds, but won't render the emogi.

The unicode characters above don't work in Chrome on Windows, yet. They work in Firefox, but that's because Firefox bundles a version of Twemoji.

The Unicode doesn't work on Opera either but I think I'll dump Edge and Firefox for now, and stick with Opera because a few glitchy emogi are less troublesome then embed image fails.
