Hello @briaguya-ai

I don't understand what the question is. helloSystem has no keyboard shortcuts for emoji and emoji support is currently not on our roadmap. It is not essential to what we are trying to create (a productivity-oriented desktop).

@probonopd that answers the question then

i can imagine cases where poor emoji rendering/input support could hinder productivity, but i can see how it's non-essential

We seem to have some emoji support, as the following are displayed on helloSystem OK: 😃,😎, ❤️,🙊,

Rendering text properly is a baseline expectation of a productivity-oriented desktop.

That's because the GitHub webapp can render emoji's by itself. If you go to a normal website, emoji's aren't rendered. Putting the Blobmoji font in /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF allows Falkon to render emoji's properly, though not the rest of the system yet.

Please consider including that font by default, that would be a good start.

We should probably include an Emoji font download in a future Fonts utility.

(EDIT: I initially suggested the Symbola font because Linux distro's used to include that, but that's only free for non-commercial use)

If emoji's show up as boxes in your e-mails, you'd sooner think "this OS doesn't support Unicode" than "I should download an emoji font using the Fonts utility". If you don't want to include a coloured emoji font, you could include OpenMoji-Black or Smol Emoji.
