Hey guys,

I have faced the issue that the heavy_check_mark is not rendered correctly inside tables. Sometimes it is rendered as UTF-8 character (which displays a grey icon) and sometimes as g-emoji html tag (which displays a green icon).

You can finde the code that is rendered incorrectly in this repository.

And it looks like if we face the same problem if I copy the table to this post:

Did I make any mistake? Or is there any way to quick fix this within the repository?

Yes, I'm seeing the same problem with the README file for the repository jgneff/openjdk. All of the check marks in the table below are the same character, but the symbol is rendered differently:

In dark mode

In standard mode

I'm unable to get GitHub to generate all of the check mark symbols the same way, even using the Unicode variant selectors U+FE0E and U+FE0F.

I updated my README files to replace the ✔ HEAVY CHECK MARK symbol (U+2714) with the normal ✓ CHECK MARK symbol (U+2713) to avoid the bug. See my commit to the repository jgneff/openjdk for details. With this change, GitHub no longer tries to replace the characters with an equivalent emoji image.

Hey,

for some reason it's working fine now. I did not change anything. Looks like someone fixed this issue without noticing this discussion :)

Thanks

I'm seeing the same problem, in this case check marks inside summary elements (screenshot taken in macOS Chrome):

Ok, strange. It's happening again. 3 hours ago everything seems to work perfectly, but right now (using the same browser) it's broken again :/

I'm seeing the same thing within lists. Both the "red X" emoji ❌ and the "green heavy checkmark" ✔️ are sometimes rendered as Unicode characters and sometimes as HTML. When editing the markdown source the result changes and seems to be completely random. In fact while writing this comment I noticed that the same thing happens within normal markdown text.

In the screenshot above there is, in this order:

• the Unicode check mark ✔️
• Generated HTML <img class="emoji" alt="x" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/274c.png" width="20" height="20">
• Generated HTML <img class="emoji" alt="heavy_check_mark" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2714.png" width="20" height="20">
• Generated HTML <img class="emoji" alt="x" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/274c.png" width="20" height="20">
• Unicode ❌

Now, it is broken for me. It was working earlier. Appears for me both on heavycheckmark and whitecheckmark.
