Looks like this on my phone now:

Rubens it's working fine for me!

Ok so it's probably something with my phone. Thanks!

I see problems as well, ~~I will disable the control for now until I have time to work on it.~~

The CDN (Content Distribution Network) this control is using seems to be unavailable:

https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/13.0.0/svg/1f600.svg

Let me see if I can update it to a new one. Thanks for letting me know.

Edit: I've disabled Twemoji on the control for now. It works but it's a mismatch in the emoji styles now. Will fix it later.

Thanks Navindra, at least I can use emojis again now!

Rubens Ok, this is finally fixed, I think.

It took a surprising amount of work. I forked nothing short of 2 repos to fix it and more along the way.

All in the name of Twemoji which apparently died and was born again. Almost the entire team that worked on it at Twitter got laid off.

Wow, thank you so much!
I was already happy with your quick fix from 3 days ago. You didn't have to go the extra mile, but thank you again!

Rubens Haha, I just got caught up in the challenge of it. Emojis are a complex topic apparently, who knew?

I can still see bugs related to emojis everywhere now.
