Menu
I am using HTML entity ✔ (✔) in various colors to indicate what options are chosen by a user.
As it turns out, MS Edge turns some UTF-8 characters into emojis which make my design unreadable - I can no longer change their colors with CSS.
I found out in another question that replacing ✔ with ✔︎ (✔︎) should do the trick, but it does not seem to be working with Edge.
Is there another way to do it, is it impossible, or am I missing something?

The UTF has special characters to control the rendering. These special characters tell the OS/browser if it is required to covert the previous glyph to emoji or disable emoji and render it as a text: ️ – disable emoji and render the previous glyph as a text.
So, if you need to disable emoji in your text, convert the symbol to UTF-8 or UTF-16 sequence ( symbol. codePointAt(0).
To begin using the software Emoji Keyboard, simply click on the software icon and choose the emoji you want to use. Paste the emoji you wish to use into Skype/Slack/Facebook Messenger etc once you have chosen the emoji which best describes your mood at the moment.
Try adding font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol"; to your css containing the HTML entity.
For example:
span {
font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";
}<span>✔︎</span>From there you will be able to style your HTML entity. I've tested this on Edge and have confirmed that it works.
