Comment (by vegansalad):

 This seems to affect Linux users of TBB the most, but joel2017 said in the
 last comment that it is still causing problems for windows users.

 I posted a proposed solution to the emoji support problem for GNU+Linux
 users over here:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18364#comment:12

 Since there is already a ticket for emoji stuff for GNU+Linux, would it
 make sense to change the title of this ticket to a Windows specific
 problem, since the solution is going to be different than it would be for
 GNU+Linux? If so, I can remove my GNU+Linux related posts in this ticket
 and move them to 18364.
