[SOLVED]Emojis and symbols not visible in browser

I have installed JetBrains Mono Nerd Font in my arch linux i3 setup but still the emojis and symbols in browser are not visible. the nerdfont cheat sheet symbols work fine.
It shows empty box instead of that emoji.
(Its happening in all browsers)

Re: [SOLVED]Emojis and symbols not visible in browser

Does this script print the relevant symbols in the terminal?

Can you provide a URL for a site displaying the symbols?

There are quite a few other fonts that supply the Nerd set:

https://archlinux.org/groups/any/nerd-fonts/

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=ne … tdated=off

Are you sure you don't need a non-monospace font?

The script printed all symbols in terminal except MateralDesign icons and emojis in the last part (Emoji not part of nerdfonts) Image Here
In the browser, it didn't even showed the Icons section Image here
And I want to use monospace font (JetBrains one)

Re: [SOLVED]Emojis and symbols not visible in browser

Your screenshots show JetBrains in the terminal but not in the browser.

I like to set JetBrains as the monospace alias by using this stanza in ~/.config./fontconfig/fonts.conf:

<fontconfig>
   <alias>
      <family>monospace</family>
      <prefer><family>JetBrainsMono Nerd Font</family></prefer>
   </alias>
</fontconfig>

Then I set "monospace" as the mono font for all applications so I just have to edit ~/.config./fontconfig/fonts.conf to change the font everywhere.

For coverage of specific characters like emojis see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts# … _character.

I think the noto-fonts-emoji package provides the broadest coverage for those characters.

Thank you. I fixed it by installing noto-fonts-emoji. Didn't have to do any config
