I have noticed over the past day or two that emojis are not displaying properly.
There is a small square and the word instead of the image.
It seems to change too , I am fairly sure @nitewotcha Grin displayed correctly last night but doesn't now.
It's happening on quite a few threads .
I am I samsung chrome

can you see those?

ScottBakula · 12/10/2024 00:32

Ooh that's weird,

No I can't see your latest ones either .
I wonder if it depends on if we use mn emoji or phones ?

Mn 😁😀

I’ll flag it with MNHQ

Thanks @ScottBakula
(I’ll break my rule about using only MN emojis and give you some iPhone flowers)

It's been the same for me, it's the old fashioned [whatever] - it shows up when typing it out but when previewing it shows Flowers. I've noticed it on a few other posts. I am using Firefox on a laptop.

ScottBakula · 13/10/2024 02:45

@BeckyAMumsnet , thanks for the tip , I have tried the this but I still keep getting the word rather than the emoji but it's not on all post , I only get it on about 25% of them

It doesn't matter which thread either , on some threads I have emojis from one posters and words from another , often within a few minutes of each other

@PaininthePreferbial yours shows as the word to me too .

I've noticed this recently too (samsung phone)

TheShellBeach · 13/10/2024 13:32

It's been happening for three days for me.
It's only the MN emojis.
Hmm

Garlicbest · 14/10/2024 02:45

I've got broken emojis, too - about half seem to render OK, the others are as PPs posted above. The images on Puzzles are broken as well.

Using Chrome on a Windows PC.

Experiment, for the hell of it:
Flowers Typed square brackets
💐MN emoji picker
💐 Windows emoji picker

Garlicbest · 14/10/2024 03:04

Yep, it's the [square bracket] emoji that breaks.
