The Symbols in the left column may not appear correctly or at all – it depends on your computer, browser and installed fonts. That said, all symbols should show in modern Windows or Mac with a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox).

Each symbol/emoji can and will look different, in particular Windows vs Mac because there are very different fonts used on each operating system.
