Applying skin tones to emojis (web)

282 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to use the emojione tones with unicode and when you use shortnames with _toneX in them, e.g., :haircut_tone4: two unicodes are rendered (see image). How to fix this?

As I understand, support for skin tones is based on the system displaying the characters and the font being used. If they don't support the latest standards in Unicode, the fallback you're seeing is displayed.
