I use the win+. to insert emojis into Visual Studio Code and Windows Terminal, However they don't seem to work, instead they show up as "?", The strange bit in this is how I can paste the emojis I copied from the web just fine, But its just the Emoji Panel which doesn't seem to work, I haven't messed around with my font settings, and I use Cascadia Code PL as my font in VsCode and Windows Terminal

Edit to add - This problem is strange, in notepad, the emojis show up in a monochrome color, while in VsCode they show up as "?" same goes for Windows Terminal, both of these should support emojis but this problem is still there

  • Welcome to Superuser! What happened when you press Win+; – Reddy Lutonadio Aug 15 '21 at 09:55

    Hey, when I press ```win+;``` the emoji menu pops up just fine, its just that when I click the emojis, they show up as a "?" – Aadv1k Aug 15 '21 at 09:58
  • When the emoji's are inserted, they are inserted in the wrong way as unicode and that is why they get translated and show up as a ?. It may also be that the font itself does not have support for the unicode. You can see if changing the font to ludica console fixes it. – LPChip Aug 15 '21 at 10:09
  • Nope, that doesn't work either, still shows up as a "?", I also tried ```Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace, 'Segoe UI Emoji'``` this, but to no avail – Aadv1k Aug 15 '21 at 10:21
  • Does the issue only occur with VsCode and Windows Terminal? Check if the issue also occurs with other apps for example Wordpad or Ms Word. – Reddy Lutonadio Aug 15 '21 at 11:16
  • I have the same issue, sometimes I have to copy them from the web, they work in the terminal , but sometimes with extra spaces before or after and when I delete them they change to diamonds. – Miron Tewfik Jul 05 '22 at 10:28
