I don't think W7 has native emoji support like Win10 does. Does not seem like the sort of thing they would patch in shortly before the end of official support.

    edit with further research: https://blog.getemoji.com/post/57054...-support-emoji

    Windows — Windows 8 and 8.1

    Internet Explorer — Yes!
    Firefox — Yes!
    Safari — Yes!
    Chrome — No ☹
    ☹ If using Windows 7, Windows Vista, or any other early version of Windows, you will not see Emoji correctly in any browser.
    And to finally nail the Firefox thing as well: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo.../releasenotes/

    Added a built-in Emoji set for operating systems without native Emoji fonts (Windows 8.0 and lower and Linux)
    So it's basically that your Windows does not support emojis, but Firefox has special built-in emoji support since version 50. That's why you only see them in Firefox and nowhere else.

    You could have a look at this, but not sure what exactly could go wrong or what it does: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...d-24b7bec8c444
