Emojis do not display in some Chrome browsers
In the section "Emoji versus text presentation", Google Chrome on Windows 8 renders the first emoji character as a blank box. In Firefox it renders as expected. Should Wikipedia add an image to avoid confounding the reader? I.e., should wikipedia pages be accessible to the widest variety of users, and not merely those with the latest versions of browsers and operating systems? -84user (talk) 12:11, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I've linked here from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Accessibility#Emojis_do_not_display_in_some_Chrome_browsers.
 * Also, I found a Chrome extension ("Chromoji - Emojis for Google Chrome") that renders the non-displaying emojis, but inconsistently when compared to Firefox, in some cases considerably different. -84user (talk) 13:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. If this idea of using images is limited to one article, or one section of an article, then it's doable.  Although the image will likely be out-of-date annually with each new Unicode release.  If the image idea is expanded across multiple Wikipedia articles, then images are a monumental task, especially since 24,025 Unicode characters have been added to the Standard since Windows 8 went out of support in January, 2016.  This likely affects hundreds of articles.  Now you add in testing out browsers and it's a tech support and maintenance nightmare. DRMcCreedy (talk) 20:12, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
