don't have the solution to this issues, but heres how it looks in Phanpy dev on newest Firefox on macOS
Phanpy uses OS native emojis, so it's likely that your OS doesn't support them yet (specifically the included emoji font). This is a known common problem with emojis — that's why a lot of web apps (but not mobile apps 🤔) replace them with images (emoji iconsets) 😅.
Some analysis:
I'm aware of ways to fix this but despite emojis looking simple, they are quite complicated and require annual maintenance (there are always new emojis every year, coinciding with new OS releases 😩) — also one of the reasons why Phanpy doesn't include a (non-custom) emoji picker (as of now) 🙏
I thought that could be the issue but then I didn't understand why the mastodon.social client showed the correct emojis. Is it using some other font rendering thing that doesn't rely on th system's emoji font?
@eliocamp the client replaces the unicode character with an image.
Looking at the blue heart icon design, I suspect it's Twemoji https://emojipedia.org/twitter/twemoji-15.0.1/light-blue-heart
This is how it shows in Gnome, no issues:
