Hi,

for more than a month now many emoticons are broken in my browsers.

I see ?, but I cannot see ? (though copying it into an Emacs buffer
shows the icon).

Also Flags like ?? and ?? are broken.

I have a huge number of fonts installed (list at the end), so this
should actually work.

I attached a screenshot from icecat which shows the problem;
ungoogled-chromium has it, too. Firefox installed via flatpak works,
though (second attached image).
Best wishes,
Arne

As a workaround, those emoticons still work with ‘torbrowser’ and
‘mullvadbrowser’. Their font list comes from upstream and they can't
include system fonts. (This is also better against fingerprinting.)
