I'm on Windows, and they look marginally better than your example... Are emojis handled by the browser rather than the OS? I'm in Firefox.

I know Firefox brings its own root security certificates whereas Chrome & Edge use the OS's in-built certs. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to hear the same is true of emojis.

edit: looks like Microsoft does have support for it now though. Are you on Win11, by chance? It seems like Microsoft may have finally rolled out support for newer emojis in Win11 that they never bothered to bring to Win10, which I'm still on.
