more of them not showing up correctly.
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:

And here is a WinXP screenshot from the Wikipedia link I gave you (with
