<![CDATA[Windows 7 Version Shows Emojis as Boxes]]>I love Opera. I am on Win 7, and the only issue I have is that, unlike Firefox, emoji images are all boxes. I cannot tell what they are.

Is there a way to fix this?

Guess I'm stuck with no emojis on Opera. Too tech illiterate to even try installing things somewhere I have no clue how... LOL!

Here is a screen cap of what I see for emojis - that's suppoed to be "folded/praying hands," "purple heart," and "folded/praying hands" again.

I guess They're newer unicode. So You're saying I am SOL on Opera? It will not be updated to offer those emojis for Win 7? [sigh]

Example page where the emojis don't show? Perhaps they're emojis added to a newer version of the Unicode standard that the Chromium version Opera 95 is based on doesn't support.

Win 7 just does not have a colour emoji font, so Opera ends up showing boxes while Firefox handles it differently.

You can try installing a colour emoji font, but honestly on Win 7 it never fully fixes it. Easiest workaround is just using Firefox for emoji-heavy pages.
