Some Emojis not appearing on browser and some applications in Endeavour OS

[Abhay_K]

I just shifted to arch from ubuntu budgie. and I am getting some issues loading/displaying emojis on some websites and applications. I have provided some screenshots of the issue. The Os I am using is Endeavour OS with KDE Plasma Desktop and my browser is Brave (stable).

1. A post on Facebook which probably had emojis

2. VS Code Terminal there should have been arrows which do show up on konsole (kde terminal) shown below

3. The konsole which shows the arrows

Do you have an emoji font installed? There are some listed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts#Emoji_and_symbols

I have noto-fonts-emoji installed and it seems to work well. Welcome to the forum!

[Tip] Enable Colour Emojis

EndeavourOS, out of the box, does not come with colourful TTF emojis installed. For example, KDE’s Emoji Selector application displays a bunch of □-like characters instead of emojis. However, it is fairly easy get it working. While I’m sure most users already know how to do this, just in case there is a newbie looking for a simple tutorial, I hope this helps. First, install an emoji font. A good choice is noto-fonts-emoji from the repos, but if you want the same look of emojis as here on Disco…

Yes this worked for me thanks, the emojis are definitely showing up also with colors which is great but the arrows which appear in the terminal are not yet visible in vs code. Are there special fonts for that?
