Some emojis are not working

[liza-mae]

Hi,

I am trying to use some emojis listed here, but they are not working and show up blank as follows:

Some of I have tried that don't work are: large_orange_circle, large_yellow_circle, large_green_circle, large_purple_circle, large_brown_circle

These work though: white_circle, black_circle, red_circle, large_blue_circle

Can someone help?

@liza-mae thanks for the report!

Can I confirm where you are trying to use the emojis that don't work? On buildkite.com? Or (based on the linked issue #386) maybe the bk cli?

@yob I was trying to use the emojis on buildkite.com

oh, that's not great 🤔

To test it, I updated the label on a test step to the following: large_orange_circle :large_orange_circle: red_circle :red_circle: buildkite :buildkite:

It renders like this for me on buildkite.com:

When I inspect the DOM, it looks like this:

This repo defines a mixture of official unicode emojis and custom "emojis" (logos, etc). When rendered on buildkite.com, we use utf8 encoded data for the official unicode emojis, and an img tag for the custom "emojis". Is it possible your system has no fonts with large_orange_circle, large_yellow_circle, large_green_circle, large_purple_circle, or large_brown_circle?

Picking two emojis from your lists at random, it looks like red circle was released in 2010, and large_orange_circle was released in 2019.

Thanks @yob I did try another machine and it worked, so that is it. Thanks for your help, I will close this out.
