Hey myclay,

They fail to appear correctly in other design apps too. I think they are primarily used for IM such as Skype/Slack etc. Some of the symbols should work but the emojis will not. I think this was logged a long time ago but nothing ever came of it.

Hey Chris,
to clarify the post, the described issue is not about Fonts and their inability to show the proper symbols.
Fonts like the Segoe UI Emoji have like ~96% of Emojis covered.

The Issue I tried to explain is, Affinity Products erases Emojis which where pasted in with the Windows Emoji Picker.
This Error is not happening when the same Emojis are pasted in from the Web or from the Glyph Browser.

Edit; Affinity Photo is with the usage of the Windows emoji picker only keeping symbols which are present in Arial and also erases the format of the symbols, which leads to a different size.
