So below, when choosing the second alternative for "MAN" (a guy with a moustache), the basic "MAN" and a color swatch are shown, instead: But if I pick these glyphs from the system Character Viewer, and choose one of the alternatives shown there by holding down the mouse button, and then copy the selected glyph in an Affinity app, instead of getting an alternative, some kind of composing parts or in some other way related glyphs are shown side by side, instead.

The color emojis are rasterized - they are initially in raster format (unlike Windows equivalent Segoe UI Emoji, which are vectors, and supported both on Windows and macOS versions of Affinity apps), but I mean that they are not exported as glyphs of a font Segoe UI Emoji is not, either, but the glyphs are converted to outlines and accordingly stay sharp when zoomed in).ĮDIT: I forgot to mention that these tests were done on macOS Monterey 12.6 (but I think the mentioned color font types, SBIX and Microsoft CPAL/COLR, have been working at least for about 6 months I have not tested the behavior with earlier major macOS versions).ĮDIT2: Looking more closely examples, I can get both without the secondary glyph when I pick them from the Glyphs Panel within an Affinity app: the U+1f468 MAN, and U+1f64b HAPPY PERSON RAISING ONE HAND. The color glyphs that do show, can also be exported fine, including CMYK PDF. Perhaps there is OS level support that apps get "free", but generic support is missing, which would explain the described behavior.
It was created based on Apple Color Emoji which was just emptied, but when I have tried to create SBIX color fonts from the scratch, they have not worked properly in Affinity apps, but do work properly in other apps supporting color fonts. I have myself created a very elemental SBIX font consisting only of color swatches to be used with palette simulations and the font works fine. Some glyphs might have several alternatives, and it may be that not all of them can be selected from within Affinity apps Glyphs Browser. show Flags, and if picked form the system Character Viewer, do not show correctly. The Glyphs Panel lists categories up to Mahjong Tiles but does not e.g. I am not an expert so I cannot say exactly what works and what does not (and more importantly, why). They are supported at least to some extent: Is there any plan for Affinity apps to support SBIX?
