I'm trying to plot some emojis but the gender variations that are not supported for that particular emoji are cluttering the chart. Example image.

My question is if there is some way I can prevent this behavior and instead just show the emoji without the variation. I want instead of ‍♀️.

I'm working from a CSV file that has a single emoji in the format: 

U+1F645 U+1F3FF U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F

What I'm doing now is simply replacing all U+ with &#x, slapping a semicolon at the end and injecting the string into the html.

  • Does stripping the gender symbols from the strings not work? U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F is the female gender modifier and U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F is the male one. – CharlotteBuff Aug 22 '18 at 22:12
  • Hi RandomGuy, the only reason I hesitate to do that is because I don't want to lose the gender distinction between emojis altogether. Honeslty, I was just wondering if there would be a solution similar to [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32915485/how-to-prevent-unicode-characters-from-rendering-as-emoji-in-html-from-javascrip), where I could just add a selector or something and keep the emoji from adding extra symbols but keep all other variations. Having now looked at my chart on several devices though, I don't think it's that big a deal. Thanks for the suggestion! – Nolence Aug 23 '18 at 19:28
  • The gender symbols that follow the base emoji *are* the selectors. If you want to keep the gender differences, then ♀️ and ♂️ must stay. I’m honestly not sure why the gendered sequences don’t render correctly on your end because Microsoft’s emoji font has supported them for quite some time now. – CharlotteBuff Aug 24 '18 at 15:55
