Some Emoji characters are not displayed properly on Esteem surfer v 2.0.4

[HarryHeights]

Expected Behaviour

I'm fascinated by the inclusion of emojis on esteem surfer. However, I expected that the emojis all the emoji characters will be visible.

Actual Behaviour.

Firstly, I thought the emojis will be displayed in colors. I not that's not a bug. The main issue is that some emojis are kind of invisible. The actual character of the emoji is not displayed. At first I thought it was an issue with my system font. But then again, esteem surfer doesn't use my system font.

How to reproduce

1. Go to post editor on esteem surfer
2. Roll your mouse over emoji icon on the markdown short cut bar
3. Browse through the emojis
4. See error

Test Enviroment

Device- HP pavilion dv7 Operating system- Windows 7 Ultimate Software version- Esteem surfer 2.0.4

@HarryHeights Problem is windows 7 has no support for Segoe UI font.

You can find windows 7 patch for emoji support here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2729094/an-update-for-the-segoe-ui-symbol-font-in-windows-7-and-in-windows-ser

We will keep looking for a solution for this issue. Until we find a workaround patching is only one solution.

Thanks for your feedback.
