Emoji Polyfill

22 June 2022: The new regular expression for detecting emoji was too aggressive and matched common characters like en and em dashes; I had already kept it from modifying elements just for containing ©, ®, and ™, but I needed to exclude more symbols with code points near the ™ symbol. However, if one of those copyright or trademark symbols is inside the same element as an ordinary emoji or a character in the Basic Multilingual Plane's Private Use Area, all of the symbols in that element will get an emoji presentation if available. I have also found that if a symbol that could have an emoji or non-emoji presentation is followed by Variation Selector 15 (which specifies the non-emoji presentation), this extension may still make it look like an emoji.

19 June 2022: This version uses Noto Color Emoji in preference to Segoe Ui Emoji on Windows, for greater consistency and to properly support all flags and new ZWJ sequences and the Unicode 14 emojis; it also includes the Twitter Color Emoji font for a few symbols that Noto Color Emoji does not support, and it still includes Symbola, which Douros has not updated in more than two years, as a backstop. Keep in mind that you won't see the new emoji images on this extension page, because extensions cannot run in the Chrome Web Store.

4 July 2020: This is somewhat delayed; a few months ago, Douros updated Symbola for the new Unicode 13 emojis.

23 March 2019: Along with the announcement of new emojis for Unicode 12, Douros updated Symbola.

20 June 2018: Earlier this month, Unicode 11 was released, and along with it, new emojis; afterward, Douros updated Symbola to support the new emojis.
