[Bug] Emojis Don't Work

[Contented-Slime]

Okay, so this has been going on for a while and I haven't done anything to fix it because it's not THAT big of a deal, but a lot of the forum emojis don't work and I'd like to see emojis again. Here are some screenshots of what it looks like when I try to use emojis:

As you can see, it's extremely selective. I use the forums on my computer (it's a macbook), and I restart it fairly often.
Any advice?

I can't fix anything but what do you see above?

They are : spring : and : hotsprings : (without the spaces)

 

[Contented-Slime]

Neither of those work for me.

They look OK from my side so maybe not a forum problem? I had this problem a year or 2 ago where almost all the emojis here didn't work properly on my computer for months and one day it just cleared itself up. I dunno why it happened but it was frustrating.

Yeah, I do think it's either the device or my device. Two different things.

Maybe it's a problem with apple devices?

Hmmmmm...
When, may I ask, was your iPad made?

I got it at the start of last year (I think) so I'm guessing 2024

So fairly recent. I have NO IDEA how old my laptop is but I can make a guess: I've had it since 2023, but because it's a school laptop and they reuse them it might be older

I wonder what would cause older models to do that though...

It looks like a blue square with a "?" in it... Is it supposed to be something different?

Oh it's supposed to be a shrug. I guess we both can't see it!

Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For Apple, if it were a version problem then I think it would have more to do with what version of OSX you're running, but I'm not an apple guy so idk
