The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

How is this a bug in Firefox, and not with the fonts installed on your system? In which browser does it work?

Comment 4

[Justin Peter]

I'm not sure how much Firefox depends on the user's fonts, but looking at other similar Unicode bugs this should be in Core: Graphics: Text, not Audio/Video: Playback.

(I came across this after noticing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_numerals, but apparently those are from Unicode 4.)

Redirect a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user to the triage owner.
:jfkthame, since the bug has recent activity, could you have a look please?

Dup'ing forward to bug 1761303, where we updated the bundled Twemoji font to include Unicode 14 characters.
