currently working on a messaging app using javafx and i was able to set up emojis in my messages using their unicodes but only black and white emojis, i'm using a vbox with textflows, a textflow for each line and i am using Symbola font for the emoji labels and getting the following result which is an actual screenshot from my app:

my question is how to display colored emojis as in web browsers like or

i checked every link i found on google or stackOverflow but none of them included a working way to display colored emojis on a javaFx application

  • At least two of the options listed in the link above have color icons. – SedJ601 Sep 22 '18 at 00:31
  • no these fonts are nice but also monocolored – SDIDSA Sep 22 '18 at 00:41
  • In one of the examples, you can see the icons have color. I personally use FontawesomeFX so I know they have color. – SedJ601 Sep 22 '18 at 01:14
  • Do you mean that the icons can only be yellow and not yellow, red and white? – SedJ601 Sep 22 '18 at 01:15

  • Have you read this -> http://www.guigarage.com/2015/01/support-emojis/ – SedJ601 Sep 22 '18 at 01:31
  • that post from guigarage says there will be a second part about colored emojis but never posted again, but the link from fxExperience has given me a nice idea of using Images for icons, i will try that – SDIDSA Sep 22 '18 at 02:22

    fontAwesome icons can be colored, and so can be the emojis provided by symbola font, but they will only have on color, unlike emojis on android for example where they take multiple colors , and using images sounds like a good idea right now – SDIDSA Sep 22 '18 at 02:27
  • this is not a duplicate and if you really think so explain to me why it is – SDIDSA Sep 22 '18 at 12:15
