Windows 10: Emoji picker doesn't use the correct language

Hi, I'm using Windows 11 with an AZERTY keyboard layout with English as the display language everywhere. However, in the emoji picker only french names of emojis can be used, names in english don't yield any search results. Is it possible to keep the AZERTY layout while having emoji search results in english?Thanks

:)

 

Emoji Picker Search Not Working

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

To resolve this, you may want to try a few steps in order to troubleshoot the issue.

First, you can try resetting the emoji picker settings. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app by pressing Windows key + I.

2. Click on "Time & Language".

3. Click on "Language" from the left sidebar.

4. Scroll down to the "Preferred languages" section and click on "Options" next to your language.

5. Scroll down to the "Keyboard" section and click on "Input method".

6. Click on "Options" next to the "Microsoft Emoji" input method.

7. Click on "Reset" under the "Reset to default" section.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can run the System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tools to check for and repair any corrupt system files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator by searching for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu, right-clicking it, and selecting "Run as administrator".

2. Type "sfc /scannow" and press Enter. This will scan your system files for any errors and repair them if possible.

3. Once the SFC scan is complete, type "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" and press Enter. This will check for and repair any issues with the Windows image files.

Where are the flag emojis in the emoji picker??

Just tried the emoji picker (Win+.) on update 2004 and I don't see any country flags? I can't even see the regional indicators either...

 

Emoji Picker Search Not Working

I can bring up the emoji picker with <Win+period> but when I try to search for an emoji by typing in the box, the box does not show the characters I type. Instead, it shows the keys in the order they are on the keyboard like this:

What I type: smile

What shows: qwert

Sometimes, it will be offset by a certain number of characters. I.e. sometimes it will start with "`1234", other times "ghjkl", etc. It seems to run on a cycle so the pattern repeats and it seems the pattern can start at any position depending on external factors.

If I start typing in the emoji search box and lets say the box shows "qwer" if I close the box and type something in another program, let's say "hello" then I open the emoji search again and start typing, the first character to show in the search will be "p". The five letters in "hello" (typed in another progarm) counted toward the cycle of characters in the emoji picker search so that it skips over "tyuio" and goes straight to "p".

Restarting the computer does not help. This has been happening for a month or more. I don't really use the search feature of the emoji picker that often as the emojis I want are generally right there when I open the picker and I can select with the arrow keys.
