Know how sometimes the warning emoji ️ renders black and white, and sometimes as a proper colored emoji? In theory, you can control this with the variation selectors `U+FE0E` or `U+FE0F`, but in practice, it often doesn't work.

Know how sometimes the warning emoji ️ renders black and white, and sometimes as a proper colored emoji? In theory, you can control this with the variation selectors `U+FE0E` or `U+FE0F`, but in practice, it often doesn't work.

As of Chrome 131, you can now _actually_ control the behavior thanks to the new `font-variant-emoji` CSS property!
