audio button icon not shown

[emacsbliss]

maybe it's the font I'm using cause this issue? Currently I'm using Jetbrains mono, the icon where we click to play sound shows blank in my emacs.

Most audio buttons use emoji ('🔊').

"C-x 8 RET 1f50a" or "C-x 8 RET SPEAKER WITH THREE SOUND WAVES"

to check whether it's displayed in tofu or not.

Emacs will use symbola if no font is found to display emoji. If you use archlinux,

yay -S ttf-symbola

thanks for the info. C-x 8 RET shows blank for this emoji.

also I'm on Mac, seems no ttf-symbola for it..

You can use "Apple Color Emoji" to display emoji.

;; Emacs 29, 28
(set-fontset-font t 'emoji (font-spec :family "Apple Color Emoji") nil 'prepend)

;; Emacs 27
(set-fontset-font t 'symbol (font-spec :family "Apple Color Emoji") nil 'prepend)
