Question about "smiling face" emoji

[MorningSleeper]

Hi, do you know why when I select a colored emoji to be inserted into a form field most show the exact colored emoji in the form field while at least one named "smiling face" shows a colorless version? My script inserts the comma before it and it occurs whether that is done or not. I tried in latest Chrome and Firefox. I have <meta charset="UTF-8"> in documents head section. I included a screen capture that loops twice below.

I ran into this early on and it drove me crazy, I couldn't figure it out. Luckily, the fix is easy. You need to use the system emoji font on your text area. This should cover it for all major platforms:

font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Segoe UI", "Apple Color Emoji", "Twemoji Mozilla", "Noto Color Emoji", "EmojiOne Color", "Android Emoji";

Give that a try, and feel free to close the issue if that fixes your problem - which I think it probably will!

That fixed it, thanks!
