Do you have examples of OTHER web browsers displaying emojis in the tab name?

You mean besides mainstream browsers most people use? roytam1's Serpent and New Moon, feodor2's Mypal 68 as well.

why would a web developer place an emoji in the tab name?

They may come from user generated content, eg. the posts on the following subreddit:

We need a TEST SITE for the tab font emojis.

How 'bout a full emoji library:

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, agreed.

I'd have to see how an emoji-tab renders in an "official" Chromium versus Mozilla.  I do recall that Mozilla Roytam/Feodor adds an emoji font (TwemojiMozilla.ttf) because I always intentionally delete it.  Unsure if "official" adds this font.

I guess I'm just "used to" seeing little boxes here and there because I do prefer to block a crapload of unneeded fonts

Mozilla tends to handle more things on its own rather than depending on OS or its resources. I've seen emoji issues in Chromium browsers on Windows 7, but not on 10.

I'm using a custom skin, but browser normally is the same.

Did you copy the contents of the "skin" folder of the older browser to this one? because the "About" menu showed:

is different from mine.

My suggestion, please use the browser with a clean profile (no "User Data" folder), without porting any files and then tell me if you encounter any errors with that. If you keep porting files between versions I can't tell what is going to happen.

It is fine, but I would want to change it to Segoe UI Symbol (in order to see more characters / emojis)

The developers of this browser intentionally hardcoded the default font to be a chinese one (among the list of default fonts). The only way I think a font can be added it is by adding the glyphs of other fonts into the chinese font so that they load when the browser loads.

On the site you provided the icons work, but on the elektroda.pl forum they do not. On Chrome 87, but on Windows 7 they work without any problem. Interestingly, icons on forum.pclab.pl already work.

 

Maybe it would be worth reporting this bug to the mantainers of the elektroda.pl page. Because the browser can handle the font on other sites.

Cheers.

TwemojiMozilla.ttf

Must be some logic in Mozilla browsers mapping those codes to symbols in those fonts. Can't really install the font system wide to to have it automagically work with Chromium.

At least there's font.name-list.emoji pref specifying which fonts to use.

Guess what, I copied seguiemj.ttf from Win11 ISO->sources->install.wim->1->Windows->Fonts to my XP's C:\Windows\Fonts and now have most emojis in black & white on getemoji.com front page on XP on 360Chrome.

They do.

Agreed.  And at least with it, the end user can still modify parts of the GUI via Stylem (last I checked, that is).  One of my most GIGANTIC beefs against Chromium is that there is no TITLE BAR.

THANKFULLY Mypal 68 still has a Title Bar.  I still look forward to Mypal 68's "stable release".  It's really about the ONLY thing I see on the horizon that would get me to return to Mozilla-based.

It is possible that your skin is causing your crashes.  It is not advisable to just "mix-and-match" files across different versions/builds/releases.  It's always amazed me how often these "mix-and-match" scenarios bring about their own issues that would not otherwise exist.

I have not install many fonts, so some emoji dose not display

I tried Googleing but I guess I don't know where to look.

I am curious if having an "emoji" (non-standard font) as a "meta" character (title or tab name) is even "compliant" with official web standards?

 

Edit - To put it a different way, people often condescend Microsoft by calling them "Micro$oft", often condescend Google Chrome "functions" by calling them "Google-isms".

We also have "Chrome-isms" as a term often used by Mozilla Fans to condescend something that Chrome is capable of but that Mozilla lacks.

So my question is this - are "emojis" in the title bar (and the inclusion of an emoji font) just a "Mozilla-ism"?  Shouldn't that offend us just as much as a "Chrome-ism"?

Either way, If I understand this correctly, it's all about the fonts. Natively, Windows 8.1 is supposed to be the minimum for colored font support, hence black & white appearance on older OS.

Which one did you use?  I'm finding two seguiemj.ttf files.  One is dated 10/31/2015.  The other is dated 8/7/2017.

[rereser]

the windows 11 iso i used had only one seguiemj.ttf file.
