Are there any options I can specify to get emojis to render properly? Example:

Input

<body>
  🥺
</body>

Output

🥺

Details

  • WeasyPrint 53.3, also tried with 52.2
  • Python 3.7
  • MacOS Big Sur 11.6

Hello!

You have to set an encoding supporting emojis, with weasyprint -e utf-8 input.html output.pdf, or adding <meta charset="utf-8"> into your HTML header (assuming that your file is in utf-8).

Side note: colored emojis are not supported in the current stable version (v53.x), but they are in the previous versions and will be in the next versions (see #1406).

Hey! I just tried that but the result is a question mark block:

However, when I copy it + paste it elsewhere, the emoji renders correctly.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

You don’t have any font installed with black and white emojis. This character probably comes from a default font that replaces unknown characters with question marks.

Try WeasyPrint 52 or the current master branch, and you should get images if you have a font installed with colored emojis.

Thanks @liZe! I run grade reports for my students and have some silly emojis in there that didn't appear now. In case anyone else just needs a quick-and-dirty fix, I downgraded weasyprint via:

pip3 install 'weasyprint<53.0' --force-reinstall

and the reports generated like old times. It's probably not elegant, but I just needed it to work this afternoon 😄
