LOL.

I don't think Windows' own font rendering engine supports color fonts.
Otherwise, I'd see it in colors on the file name. Or is it that the Segoe UI
Symbol font's Fire character isn't in colors?

That made me curious, so I checked it using Wordpad...

Apparently, Windows 7 doesn't support color fonts. As expected.

Windows 8 got a little smarter for displaying the Fire character, but still
no color font support.

Windows 10 seems trying to support color font, but looks like it fails. As
if they're playing Snake and Ladder.

And interrestingly, Firefox cheated when displaying the Fire character. I
didn't expect to find that.

Windows 10 actually has a Segoe font with the word Emoji
in the name. "seguiemj.ttf" . Segoe UI Emoji OpenType.

Someone at Microsoft has a sense of humor.

I bet they have a font for blockchain too.

I did get color with the Edge browser, but is still wasn't right. It had
a black border.
