Why is the heart emoji not displaying properly when copying it as text into Affinity Designer? (Image)

Why is the heart emoji not displaying properly when copying it as text into Affinity Designer? (worked 2  weeks ago) I even have the affinity file from two weeks ago with the thumbnail of the heart, but when opening it, it shows the wrong one. (Image)

What specifically are you copying it from?

And what font are you using in your Designer document? 

Which release of Designer do you have, and what OS and release are you using?

Hi @Goldi708
You need to have the Segoe UI Emoji font or one of the alternatives (Noto Color Emoji, Android Emoji, EmojiSymbols, EmojiOne Mozilla, Twemoji Mozilla, Segoe UI Symbol) to display it properly (or close enough if using one of the alternative fonts). As far as I'm aware the Segoe UI Emoji font is provided with Windows 10/11. So to see the colour heart as displayed in the site, select it in the Affinity app and change the font to Segoe UI Emoji.

In Publisher I can type U+2764 into a text box then do <alt>U and the heart appears
I don't know if this works in Designer, it doesn't work in Photo
The Segoe UI Emoji version on the right is flat by comparison
Anyway, here's an svg of the posh one

What version of Windows 11?
What version of Segoe UI Emoji?

In Windows 11 23H2 the Segoe UI Emoji font changed from COLRv0 to COLRv1.
Segoe UI Emoji v1.45 is now COLRv1.
Affinity apps only support COLRv0.
So you may be seeing a fallback font.

Your first image is obviously a fallback font because it is not Segoe UI Emoji, or Arial, or Inter.

Unless Affinity apps now support COLRv1 the Segoe UI Emoji font in Win11 is going to be an issue.
