Hi,
I am currently working on a Power BI solution and used colorful emojis for my report. It works fine in my Windows 10 desktop computer, but when I opened the file in another computer (Windows Server 2012), all the emojis become dull/colorless. I also noticed that this behavior is not only happened in Power BI, but in other apps/webpage. I assume that this issue might be related to some of the windows systems.
For illustration, I used the file from this website https://www.biinsight.com/download/use-unicode-characters-in-power-bi-desktop/
Picture 1 - Colorless Emoji (Windows Server 2012)
Picture 2 - Colorful Emoji (Windows 10)
Is there a way to fix these problems?
Thank you very much.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can have a look at this video for emojis
