When will there be support for Unicode 7.0 and newer?
-
In other systems and applications such as Facebook, Firefox or Android have long implemented new emojis.
Sometimes I find within some page the classic small square.Vivaldi only supports up to version 6.1 of Unicode. (2010)
I think it's time to update this aspect...
-
The support is there already for Emoticons
Hiere is a test page for Emojji.

@Pesala Sorry, I don't know what you mean.
I use Windows 8.1.
For example, in the link you shared, this is what I see (left firefox, right vivaldi).

Therein lies the problem. I use Windows 10, which has a suitable font (Segoe Emojji) installed with full colour support in Vivaldi.
Don't you see these in Vivaldi?

@Pesala So why do I see more emojis in Firefox for example?
Sorry if I'm boring. Answer if you want -
@Pesala However I will install that font. Thank you very much!

@julioc1984 You can't blame Vivaldi if you don't quite understand how this works or where does it come from. With what font does the Firefox on your computer display those characters? Does it provide its own font or does it use one of the fonts that are already installed on your system?

@pafflick I do not blame Vivaldi. It's just that he thought he had forgotten this aspect. I do not know why in a browser it looks one way and in another browser otherwise. I do not know.
-
@pafflick: I wasn't going to say anything...
-
@julioc1984 That's what I'm interested in. Perhaps there is a way to force Vivaldi to use a different font that supports emoji on your system (assuming that there is one - see this thread for example). If Firefox provides its own font for emoji, then it might be more difficult for Vivaldi to follow this solution due to licensing issues. You could try inspecting the characters in Firefox to see which font is being used to render them.

Unicode 9.0 works nice in Vivaldi.
See https://techmagus.ninja/test-cases/unicode-test-page/that page shows some svg images hosted somewhere, not unicode characters

@Gwen-Dragon The Emojji in the link that I posted earlier, are text, not images. Vivaldi displays them in full colour.

@Gwen-Dragon Emojipedia for example:
Unicode 7 http://emojipedia.org/unicode-7.0/
Unicode 8 http://emojipedia.org/unicode-8.0/
Unicode 6 http://emojipedia.org/unicode-6.0/

@Gwen-Dragon Yes, in Windows 10 it seems there are no problems.
Windows 8.1 users and lower I think we have this problem in Vivaldi.
In firefox not for example.
But In Internet Explorer 11 yes
and obviously in Opera 12.17 (2014) yes.
I suposse- we have to download some font (Segui UI Emoji). -
Here (Win10 x64 Vivaldi x64 Stable), I see all the emojis except the ones of unicode 10
-
-
In summary, I see that...
-
If you are Windows 10 user you have no problem to display emojis (up to Unicode version 9.0)
-
If you are a user of Windows 7, 8, 8.1 you may have trouble viewing emojis (as of version 7.0 of Unicode).
-
Possible solutions for users of windows 7,8,8.1 would be to install a new version of the source Segoe UI Emoji and try it to see if it works, find if there is a pack of updates in windows update related to sources that use emoji, or wait for Vivaldi to do as Firefox (from version 50) and deploy native emoji support using emojione.
I would like to know if Linux / Ubuntu or Mac users have this problem...

On Linux can use eosrei PPA (but symbols only appear in black/white in Vivaldi as well ).
