unicode emojis not showing on Chrome


When I insert unicode emojis into a <span> using standard jQuery they don't appear with Chrome (v48), but do with Firefox (v43) and Safari (v9). Compare these screenshots:

CHROME:

Chrome unicode emoji failure

FIREFOX:

Firefox unicode emoji success

Any explanation here?


Solution

  • The issue is that the span had font-weight:bold. As soon as I put font-weight:normal, the emojis appeared.
