Just needs add "Segoe UI Symbol" to font;

body{
    font:80%/130% "Segoe UI","Segoe UI Symbol","serif","sans-serif";
}
.icons{
    font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";
}

I solved this on my Windows machine by disabling the "Segoe UI Emoji" font in the system registry. To use my fix, import this into regedit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI Emoji (TrueType)"="seguisym.ttf"

That replaces the colored emoji font with the black-and-white emoji font across the entire system, so in all browsers.

For the sake of completeness, if you later want the colored emojis back, just change "seguisym" to "seguiemj" in the above, and import it again.
