Current Behavior

On linux the newest session-desktop-linux-x86_64-1.11.3.AppImage displays only a few smileys. All others are just boxes. This includes even some of the most common smileys.

Example: :slightly_smiling_face: and "thumb up"

This happens the same when trying enter an emoticon by the emoticon-menu or in the menu that appears when you for example enter :sh in the message-box. With :sh only the shamrock appears, 7 others like :sheep: and :shark: are boxes. Received smileys from for example session on android are also not displayed.

This is the same on

• ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• ubuntu-clone armbian, newest version 23.8 for amd64

Expected Behavior

I expect the smileys to appear and not be replaced with a box

Steps To Reproduce

See above: simply write or receive a message with smileys on the linux-desktop-client.

Desktop Version

1.11.3

Hi @yannic-m, we load the native emojis from the operating system on each platform. So it depends on your system font and not Session.

See https://gist.github.com/arafathusayn/3d384adfbbdfe0b6a12868e9046e9a23 as an example of using the Noto Emoji font.
