Emojis in user interface

[francgaya]

Some buttons are replaced by emojis in user interface.

• Left arrow button is replaced by girl face emoji.
• Right arrow buttob is replaced by lips emoji.
• Backspace button is replaced by man face emoji.
• History button is replaced by woman face emoji.

This bug can be seen when you use the app in 'normal' mode (i.e. you don't see the bug in the widget neither in 'window' mode).

I'm experiencing this bug in a Honor 9 (Android 7.0, EMUI 5.1)

Issue can be seen also in other applications like slack and skype. Seems that it is caused by an updates of EMUI (i.e. the android customization for huawei and honor devices).

To fix it, the text font has to be set again in current theme. The option for changing the text font is a bit hidden. Go to themes app icon and long press it. In the pop-up menu, there is the option for text style. Just select another text font and save (you can go back and re-select the default one, which now is free of this bug).

There are also some themes in play store (search for "font reset for EMUI") which should achieve same effect. But they didn't work for me (currently I'm on EMUI 8.0, so I think they are out of date).
