[SOLVED] Emojies and unicode support

Emojies and some unicode characters appear as boxes in browser, terminal, and other applications like discord
I have no idea what is this related to, I searched the internet and i saw something about locale, it was C.UTF-8 I changed it to en_US with no success, what is the next step what should i do?
```
~ λ  locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
```
this is how it looks like on browser
