Unable to display emojis in text elements. Emojis are replaced by an empty square character.

When creating a design and adding text, it is currently not possible to insert emojis directly into text elements. Instead of displaying the emoji correctly, Adobe Express shows an empty square (□) or unsupported character symbol.

This is a feature that is available in Canva and is very useful for social media content, marketing materials, and digital communications, where emojis are commonly used as part of the visual language.

It would be great if Adobe Express could support standard emoji characters within text boxes, allowing users to seamlessly integrate them into their designs.

    Hi ​@jessica_1081, Thanks for raising this.

    Currently, emoji support in text elements is a known limitation in Adobe Express and we are working on it. I’d still suggest adding your vote to the official feature request here so the product team can see the demand → https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express?query=emoji

     

    We’ll let you know once the feature is availbe for use, until then we really appreciate your patience. 

    Best!
