Disable colorization of special characters (emojis)

guttdioc

Dear all,

you can call me "old school", but I don't like emojis.
Especially, when unicode characters were colorized inconsistently on websites, instead of having the defined font color.
For example here: or ☟☜☞ or ☏
It's childish and annoying!

Is there an option to disable this "feature" and just showing the normal monochrom unicode character?

Thanks for any answers.

@guttdioc There are 3 ways emoji are being displayed on webpages

existing font on your computer (delete the font)
remote webfont loaded by the webpage (disable remote fonts)
the page displays an image instead of a proper emoji (disable images)

All three points are right. So I wrote a simple website to force the font, disable remote fonts and do not use images:

<html>
<body style="font: 14pt Segoe UI;">
☂ ☔ or ☟☝☜☞ or ☎ ☏
</body>
</html>

Edit: Even in this code block it is colorized, what a mess.

However, you can see the result in Vivaldi is colorized (and font is changed, but why?)

While it shows a normal behavior in Internet Explorer:

Or in a text editor like WordPad:

Probably related to the render engine Chromium?
Could I disable this replacement?

@guttdioc I’d delete the Segoi UI emoji font from the system, since this is a color emoji font. Why it falls back on Segoi UI in IE and wordpad, while using Segoi UI emoji on Chromium I don’t know. But it’s clear this is coming from your own system, so you can do something about it.

Interesting. I take a look.
Thanks for help.

@edwardkring The hell is that supposed to solve?
