Hello, Following a question I posted on Stack Exchange Super User ( http://superuser.com/questions/1017269/is-it-possible-that-a-specific-browser-does-not-support-some-unicode) I was suggested to reach out to the epiphany mailing list for specific information. ​I was subsequently redirected to the webkit one. ​ Below is a copy of my initial question.
I wrote a HTML5/CSS/JS application which displays some text in Droid Sans <https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid%20Sans:400,700> (loaded directly from Google at page load). When developing under Windows, unicode characters are displayed correctly in Chrome. I started the application with epiphany <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web> in Linux and some unicode characters are not displayed correctly: - \u00b0 is fine - \ud83d\udd15 is not displayed at all What could be the reason for that? - It should not be the font as the same one is used in both Windows and Linux (the remaining of the page looks good). - This brings me to the browser: could it be the culprit? (I specifically need to use epiphany as others I tried do not support some features correctly, CSS' flexbox among others) In other words: *is it possible that a browser does not support some unicode characters, others being displayed correctly (and all of them being fine in another browser on another platform, with the same font)?* Thank you for any help regarding this - this character which does not display is a crossed bell to indicate that alarm clocks are not set at home, which, as you can imagine, is a national security level kind of issue. WoJ ​PS. I initially sent the email from the wrong (not subscription) address. I believe that my email was rejected (no feedback though), if this is not the case my apologies for the double post.​
