Windows 10: Windows 10 shows monochrome versions of some emojis

Windows 10 renders some emojis, like , ⚔, ☣, ♣, ♠, ♥, and ♦ as ugly, monochrome versions, instead of what the picker shows. I suspect that this is because these existed as symbols before emojis became what they are now. But it makes no sense that it would show those when the coloured emoji is available.

Interestingly, , ⚔ and ☣ look like their better, intentionally monochrome emoji versions when typed into file names. But in a place that usually has coloured emotes (), like right here, they look crap.

Here is a screenshot of this very post as I'm typing it to show you what I mean, for people who are not on Windows 10 or don't have this issue.

Does everyone have this issue? If no, how do I fix it? And if yes, how do we fix it?

How to fix emoji keyboard not showing up using shortcut

Hi,

This issue is often caused by a corrupted or missing data file. To better isolate if this is a user profile specific or an emerging issue, we suggest that you create a new user profile and try to use the same keyboard shortcut to get the emoji keyboard to
show up. Here's the link for the steps on how to:
Set up accounts.

In the meantime, we'll give you the steps for a workaround to access the emojis. Here are the steps:

• Right-click on the Taskbar.
• Select the Show touch keyboard button option and a keyboard icon will show up on your
  Taskbar.
  
• Click the keyboard icon and select the emoji button.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
