        What is the implication there? That your browser is out of date? Or is that a greater problem with your OS itself?

          You know, I don’t know.

          But I think “problem” is probably a strong word. I probably just need to install something or upgrade my browser if I want that emoji to render nicely.

          I’m guessing calling this a “problem” would be like calling it a “problem” that you can’t open .blend files because you haven’t installed Blender.

          But also, I wouldn’t be surprised if most browsers can’t necessarily render absolutely all emojis. Surely there’s a bit of lag between the formalization of new emojis and wide support. For instance, does your browser render these?

          I picked these in particular because they’re all part of “Unicode 17” which is the “latest batch” of Emojis to be made part of the unicode standard by the Unicode Consortium in September 2025. If any browser aren’t yet universally supported, it’s probably some from that set.

          Of course, September 2025 is a while ago. It may well be that these are already widely supported.

          But then again, the Jellyfish is from Unicode 15 back in September of 2022, so maybe a bit old. I am currently using Raspian, and I doubt it’s terribly bleeding edge, so maybe that’s it. I’ll update my browser to the latest offered by Raspian and see what that does.

          Edit: Nope, updating my whole Raspian system (including updating Firefox to 153.0) didn’t change anything. Then again, I’m not sure what determines what emojis render and what emojis don’t. 🤷 Maybe there are “emoji fonts” or something.

              Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that mobile tends to be ahead of the curve on that sort of thing.

              Edit: Ah! Eureka. Gentoo Wiki to the rescue once again. It’s what fonts you have installed that determine what characters you can render – including Emojis. “Noto” is a project aimed at trying to support rendering the vast majority of commonly-used Unicode characters. And one of their font packs is called fonts-noto-color-emoji. I installed the fonts-noto metapackage on Raspian and that pulled in the Emoji one among others. Now I see all four of the above as well as the jellyfish properly rendered.

                I tried installing several different packages relating to font, emoji, or noto that sounded relevant, but those four emojis above are still not displaying right on Fedora, even after restarting 😕

        Stremio is for streaming files from someone else’s computer. Jellyfin is for streaming files from your own computer. There are pros/cons to both. The main pro to Jellyfin is being able to rewatch something after you have downloaded it just once, without having to rely on someone else’s computer at all anymore.
