The two blocks might look the same but above is simple unicode symbol and below is emoji variant where u+fe0f is added before each symbol. Top works, bottom errors out expected exactly one character. How do I fix?

#let c = symbol(
    ("c", "♠"),
    ("d", "♥"),
    ("h", "♦"),
    ("s", "♣")
)

9#c.c 8#c.d 7#c.h 6#c.s

#let c = symbol(
    ("c", "♠️"),
    ("d", "♥️"),
    ("h", "♦️"),
    ("s", "♣️")
)

9#c.c 8#c.d 7#c.h 6#c.s

#let c = (c: "♠️", d: "♥️", h: "♦️", s: "♣️")

thanks that works! however the output is exactly the same as normal symbols, so now I have to find an emoji font right?

#

it wont work on PDF unfortunately

#

it's a known bug

#

but it works on png export

#

do you mean that substituting the symbols with png files will work?

vague sable Feb 8, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

no

#

i mean that using emoji as unicode characters wont display correctly on PDFs

#

but yes you can use SVGs of emoji as an alternative
