Is there a way to detect with javascript, whether a user can see a certain emoji?
There are quite a few emojis on my mac, that my colleague can't see on hers, because she seems to have an older version of mac OS. I assume that similar things can happen with people who use other OS's altogether etc.
For examples, when I output the pretzel emoji: 🥨 ...my colleague just sees a three black stripes instead.
Is there a way for me to show the emoji whenever the user has it, but hide it (or show something different) whenever the end user isn't able to see it?
I've used Modernizr in a project before for this very problem. https://modernizr.com/
If they don't support emoji's natively you could always use an open source emoji library to prevent this from happening in the future. https://github.com/MorbZ/OpenSansEmoji
