Do you have the fonts necessary to view them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Implementation
Hmm. I guess none for Windows XP SP3. :(
For WinXP You can add Symbola_hint.ttf from:
http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ (Symbola Symbol blocks of The Unicode
Standard http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Symbola.zip)
That will give you much of the symbols & pictographs, but will not be in
color (same as linux). To test just go to the wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Blocks
and notice that you get undecipherable blocks instead of the
symbols/pictographs. While on that page, install the symbola ttf fonts
and the page should immediately change to show the symbols/pictographs
with the exception of a few.
Do I assume to put *.ttf files into c:\windows\fonts directory/folder?
If so, then I am not seeing the emojis -- http://i.imgur.com/Usd1EnN.png
for a screen shot/capture from Prefbar extension.
Replying from WinXP - sorry for the delay.
Yes you put the Symbola_hint.ttf file into that folder:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\administrator>cd c:\windows\fonts
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts>dir symb*
Volume in drive C is Windows
Directory of C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

And here is a WinXP screenshot from the Wikipedia link I gave you (with
the font info pasted into it):

Thanks. For some reason, they did not show those characters. :/
