voxeltekHey there! I'm a Kubuntu user, and I have a slight problem I'd like to discuss.02:33
voxeltekOn Kubuntu 24.04, it seems that all Unicode emojis get changed to their coloured variants, even if they have modifiers saying otherwise02:34
voxeltekFor example, with these two emojis: β™₯︎β™₯️02:36
voxeltekOn other platforms, you may see these as two distinct symbols, with the one on the left monochrome and simple, and the one on the right coloured and emoji-like02:36
voxeltekHowever, on my end, I see them both as coloured red hearts02:36
voxeltekIf you look at the Unicode hex used to generate these characters, you can see that each one has modifiers that force them to be either simple and monochrome, or coloured and emoji-like. However, despite the Unicode modifiers, these always appear as coloured in every instance except my web browser.02:38
voxeltekThe hex code for the two characters: \xE2\x99\xA5\xEF\xB8\x8E \xE2\x99\xA5\xEF\xB8\x8F02:39
voxeltekI have narrowed down that this appears to be a problem with Kubuntu specifically. Other Linux operating systems do not seem to suffer this issue, and I can provide a number of examples regarding this.02:40
voxeltekArch with Plasma, Ubuntu 24.04 with GNOME, Debian with Plasma, Debian with LXQt, and older versions of Kubuntu all appear to function fine, and do not have any such issues.02:41
voxeltekThis has become a problem as emojis don't tend to change colour with the font, whereas the monochrome versions do. As such, there can be cases where the next (and therefore the symbols) need to be white, and yet display as black, causing poor contrast and blending into the background.02:42
voxeltekI wrote up a GitHub issue for a program, as I initially believed that only this one singular problem experienced the issue. However, I then later learned that the issue runs deeper. If you want to see screenshots demonstrating the issue, feel free to visit the GitHub issue page:02:45

-ubottu:#kubuntu- Issue 35 in vanilla-wiiu/vanilla "Poor contrast on Sync emojis" [Closed]02:45
voxeltekI marked it as closed, as I believed I had fixed it, but the issue is still present.02:45
voxeltekI was wondering if anyone could provide any more insight into this?02:45
