I use a lot of emojis and especially in the deck description. In the deck view this renders correctly, see ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-06 kl. 19.13.48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/9/90cf142f986ab74e0949d84928a2dea92cdf9e44.png) #### As you can see from the image below instead of showing the emojis in the browse window we see some characters ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-06 kl. 19.11.37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/8/8bdd8af79f4aa76aa236097ff47fa69ebc80220d.png) ---

The first one looks like it’s a HTML escape rather than a literal character. Not sure about the other - is it connected to night mode or only certain characters? ---

Weird, I checked in another profile and there it works fine in most cases. ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-08 kl. 10.50.14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/3/3d6f39ef368125b81bb729bfdbe63b315f17133f.png) ---

I don’t know if it is related to night mode but when switching between the two, I still see don’t see the emoji for the simple case. ### Night mode ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-08 kl. 10.51.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/c/cc7b7524dbd8946ce1912240f15121c1c9b6f531.jpeg) ### Day mode ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-08 kl. 10.51.33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/c/c9a45707dd73a8d25f511960e4a19819607c92e2.jpeg) ---

Maybe the toolkit and/or font just can’t those characters properly. ---

Have you tried on the same version as me? See specs in the reply from me above. Works in both night/day mode. ---

I could not find your version in the Anki website. So I downloaded from the beta directory [https://apps.ankiweb.net/downloads/beta/](https://apps.ankiweb.net/downloads/beta/) ```auto Version 2.1.36 (53a984ba) Python 3.8.0 Qt 5.14.2 PyQt 5.14.2 ``` Same issue, there. ![Skjermbilde 2020-10-08 kl. 12.10.36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/2/2b70b3e7265067fa6a9317f95105553cd1911ece.png) Thanks, though! ---

I would say it is an “issue” with the font. For the Multi Page Support thing, replace `🌇` with the Emoji 🌇 and it will be displayed as the Emoji in the browser. The Emojis for the numbers are a different case, as the font used in the browser does not default to the macOS Emojis, but rather wants to do a keycapped 1 and fails miserably… Just choose other Emojis, make sure to not use the HTML encoding when naming decks, and it will work quite good in most cases. PS: yes, I am using the beta build. ---
