[Bug] Some characters are displayed in text style instead of emoji style

[ghost]

Some emoji characters have a emoji style and a text style. These characters can be switched with or without the variant selector.

For example, typing :copyright: in emote will output U+3299. However, this is a bug. Correctly, U+3299 U+FEFF should be output.

Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to change from the settings whether the text style is preferred or the pictogram style is preferred.

I don't see this on my machine. All of those correctly display as emojis, not unicode text.

@carbongreat13 is what you're seeing similar to this? Or is the issue only in the output produced by Emote, rather than in its UI?

It is not a user interface issue. It is an output issue.

I would like you to paste that text below, select "ユニバーサル文字名(3)(例:\u{106B27})" and run it.
What is the output?

If the output is U+xxxx U+FE0F, there is no problem.
If it outputs U+xxxx, there is a bug in Emote.
I am reproducing this bug with 3.0.3.

I don't know what you mean - what do you mean by "run it"?

Ummm, some Unicode pictograms have a emoji style and a text style.
You can choose not to specify the emoji style and text style without appending a variation selector, or you can add a variation selector to specify them.

I believe that Emote should add a variation selector to clearly indicate that it is a emoji style.
However, Emote currently does not have a variation selector.

Do you still see this with version 4.0.0? Will reopen if so.
