Warning sign emoji won't display in colour

[Nathaniel]

A pretty minor thing maybe, but I use emojis in my titles to indicate the status of ideas. I’d like to use a warning sign , U+26A0, for things that didn’t quite work out, but it doesn’t display in colour like the other emojis.

Steps to reproduce

Open any file, and paste in this:

Or enter it using any other method, e.g. on my Mac I can press the function key to get the emoji selector. The code is U+26A0

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

A bright yellow warning sign should appear

Actual result

A black and white warning sign appears, resembling the variant U+26A0 U+FE0E, ︎

Additional information

Here’s how the black and white symbol looks in the sandbox vault, with a coloured check next to it for comparison. All the other emojis I’ve used look like the check.

Try updating your installer.

This may be fine/fixed in a newer Obsidian version, not sure. Here’s what it looks like on my end (macOS 15.7.4):

Oh, I never heard about updating the installer before. Yes, it works fine now - thank you!

(And now I feel bad for saying yes to “Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?”. I thought that referred to the list of instructions in the template - I somehow missed that there was a link.)
