VSCode is not rendering emojis properly, instead is just showing an empty space:
However, they are getting displayed properly on a page:
Any idea why this might be happening? OS: Windows 10
Fixed by uninstalling extension support Emoji for Windows 7
You could use this extension to Visual Studio Code:

I have a little issue on VS Code. I'm using some emoji which doesn't display correctly on the terminal when usin git bash in VS Code.
A <?> is displaying instead of the emoji. Some of them seem to work...
However, in VS Code if I use PowerShell terminal the emoji are well displayed.
I'm on Windows 11.
I attach a screenshot.
Thanks in advance for your answer.enter image description here

I've tried installing oh-my-zsh on my Windows 10 machine recently and everything is looking alright inside Windows Terminal,
ut when I try using it inside VSCode's integrated terminal, the colors are way off and the arrows' colors are different from the rest.

I've tried multiple Powerline fonts, modifying VSCode color theme and changing the terminal foreground color, but the result is always the same.
Thanks in advance for your help
I was perplexed by this as well, turns out it's something that recently broke in VS Code as a result of a new accessibility feature introduced in version 1.66. The solution is to add the following to your VS Code settings.json file:
"terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio": 1,
Enforcing a minimum contrast ratio for terminal colors is a great idea that will help users with impaired vision, but an unintended consequence was that it would interfere with the way powerline-style tools render separator characters. Thankfully Microsoft offered us a way to disable it.
I'm trying desperately to display the colored emoji in VS Code but it's impossible. I am using Windows 7 and the emoji appear in black and white.
I tried the Emoji extension (support for Windows 7) but it's even worse because the emoji disappear.
Isn't there a simple solution to do this? Maybe there is a font problem but my emoji appear in color in Firefox.
Windows 7 does not have colour font support. That was added in Windows 8.1.
Note that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, as of January 2020: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-7-end-of-life-support-information
I am currently working on writing code for a Source Game Engine map file. I have issues with Visual Studio Code not displaying certain invisible characters.
When using notepad++, I can see there are invisible characters in between the lines:
But when I open it up in visual studio code, it's as if the invisible character doesn't exist.
This is what I see when using visual studio code:
I have asked my friends who also do the same thing (making Source Engine Maps) and they all don't have this issue. One of my friends sent me this image:
This is what he sees in his own editor, with squares representing the invisible character/space:
I've done a few things to try to fix this issue:
Changing fonts (I used a custom font but reset to default to see if it had any impact)
Changing encoding setting (UTF-8 was what my friends used but I tried tinkering around)
Changing editors (Tried Atom/Sublime but only Notepad++ even shows there being an invisible character)
Updated / reinstalled language packs
Enabling whitespaces
After everything, I still have the same issue. Are there other possible fixes/causes for this issue?
Fixed
I just had to enable Render Control Characters in visual studio code.
I have just installed MacOs Mojave... And when I opened Visual Studio Code... Surprise! The text it's kind of dimmed with less contrast, specially on the external display. The result is that the code it's hard to read. It seemed related to the mode, but not! It happens both in Light and dark modes.
Has anyone found a solution to that problem?
Well, I end up finding the solution thanks to Ahmad Awais post. It is a font rendering issue that affects to many ElectronJS based apps.
Open the terminal and execute
defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool FALSE
Restart the system
