On my iPad mini, all 16 emojis display correctly. However, on my Windows 10 notebook (as of March 2025), these five emojis appear as empty square boxes or as a sequence of two separate emojis instead of a single combined one. Additionally, the **Red Heart** emoji (❤️) sometimes displays as a white heart; to ensure a more consistent red heart display, consider using the **Red Exclamation Heart** (❣).
