Originally created by @shny-scott on GitHub (Feb 3, 2021).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.5.10271.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Replace the emoji in the system fonts with another set (in this case, done with https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font/)
  2. Attempt to display an emoji in the terminal.

Expected behavior

The emoji should be properly rendered like in other applications.
Example screenshot from the built-in Windows emoji picker:

Actual behavior

The emoji just shows as a "missing character" box.
Screenshot with Terminal-Icons (places appropriate emojis to the left of file names) and (edit: turns out those aren't actually emojis) an administrator Powershell (places ⚡ to the left of the command line):

Replacing a system font, you’re already in unsupported territory. Still, we should support SVG fonts.

Actually... What are those emoji supposed to be next to the filenames? I think they’re supposed to be NerdFont characters, not emoji.

I wasn't aware that NerdFont characters were used for terminal-icons, but I know the top left ⚡ is definitely an emoji because it used to display properly. And yeah, I'm not a fan of having to patch system fonts, but unfortunately there isn't a better way to do emoji set replacement.

Would you mind dumping the charcter code for that lightning bolt? Copy it to your clipboard (directly out of Terminal) and run [int]((Get-Clipboard)[0]) (PowerShell 6+)

I don't have PS 6, but running it in 5.1.19041.610 gives the output 61671.

Sorry, that's another codepoint in the private use range (which NerdFonts uses to add all these fun glyphs.)

Best choice is gonna be to find a nerdfont version of the font you're using or the font you like -- it'll look a lot better!

...then why did it work before? I was just using the default font. Guess I have more troubleshooting to do...
