Hi Figma team,
I’m facing an issue with emoji rendering specifically in file names shown in the Figma Desktop app sidebar.
Context:
-
I use emojis in file names as category codes (this is part of our workflow).
-
On Figma Web (browser), the emoji renders correctly.
-
On another iMac with the same macOS version, the emoji also renders correctly in the Desktop app.
-
On this specific iMac, the emoji does not render in the file name UI (it becomes invisible), although it works normally inside the canvas text.
What I’ve already tried:
-
Full clean reinstall of Figma Desktop
-
Clearing all Figma caches and application support files
-
Logging out and back in
-
Disabling hardware acceleration
-
Resetting macOS font caches
None of the above resolved the issue.
Since the emoji renders correctly in the browser and on another identical machine, this seems to be a Figma Desktop (Electron UI) rendering issue specific to this environment, affecting sidebar labels / file name rendering.
Could you please advise if this is a known issue or if there’s any recommended workaround or fix?
Thank you in advance!
