The latest Windows 10 Anniversary update has changed the unicode "eye" icon on my website, is there any way to have it display as originally intended?

I have attached screens below:

Eye icon before Windows 10 Anniversary update Icon before Windows 10 Anniversary update Eye icon after Windows 10 Anniversary update Icon after Windows 10 Anniversary update

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>    
    <p data-text="" class="glitch-single-letter"></p>
  </body>
</html>

I have a css text effect on which purposely causes the glitch and tear on the icon in case you are wondering.

Thanks.

Update I have tried HTML Entity (decimal) &#128065; and HTML Entity (hex) &#x1f441; as per this answer but the icon remained unchanged.

  • This is affecting my WPF application too. I use the 'HIGH VOLTAGE SIGN' (U+26A1) (⚡) using Segoe UI font and after the Anniversary Update it now displays a more complex rendering. Visual Studio also displays the new rendering in the code editor (Consolas font) but no other application does (Word, Firefox, ...). Except Paint.Net - if I paste it in there it also includes a yellow fill that I cannot change. I'm trying to unserstand this to achieve consistency - probably have to resort to using an image. – avenmore Jan 20 '17 at 08:44
  • The answers in [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29659949/inconsistent-unicode-emoji-glyphs-symbols) and [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32915485/how-to-prevent-unicode-characters-from-rendering-as-emoji-in-html-from-javascrip) questions explain (somewhat) and have a solution. Can't get it to work in XAML. Also, should all applications now have this as a font option? – avenmore Jan 20 '17 at 09:40
