Created attachment 190459 [details] in process of compiling list of smoke & CO alarms In creating a Calc spreadsheet to compile lists of smoke & CO alarms, I wanted to include a pull-down list in one column to indicate power source, per: * 🔋 (battery only) U+1F50B * ⏻+🔋 (mains power + battery back-up) (U+23FB & U+1F50B) * ⏻ (mains power only) (U+23FB) * 🔌 (plug-in) Electric Plug (U+1F50C) However, I was unable to do this... I was able to do all three symbols in a cell as in: 🔋⏻🔌 (not something that exists at Home Depot) but if I delete one of the symbols, another symbol also disapeard or changed to a different version of the symbol (colour to black and white) or else another symbol changed to a box (unknown character). Undeterred, I decided to create the list in Writer - but this time I found similar, although slightly different problems. For example, I could render the battery (green) and the power symbol on different lines, but if I put them on the same line, the battery symbol changed from green to black and white line version. Also, if I copied the power symbol and battery to Calc, only the battery symbol displayed - it seems impossible to render the power symbol and the battery symbol in the same cell - as if the power symbol was silently deleted. It was about this point that I realized that I should file a bug report. See attached files (Calc & Writer) to see how far I got before abandoning this effort.

Make a specific font assignment--the Arial font in use has no coverage of the Emoji Unicode glyphs, so system "fallback" is happening. Perhaps 'Segoe UI Emoji' on your Windows build.
