I am wondering where I can find the font (or set of images) that Windows uses when you select an emoji from the Windows Key+. context menu to add to a sentence. Do they come from the default Segoe UI font or are they a separate font (or separate files)? One of my other Windows computers appears to have a corrupted emoji file as the majority of them appear as squares like this: □, so I was hoping to copy the file from one PC to the other and then install it on the second PC.

It's a separate font named "Segoe UI Emoji", found in Windows\Fonts\seguiemj.ttf.

To answer your question, user1686 is correct. However, I don't believe that you have a corrupted emoji file. Considering how you have Windows 10, the last emoji update for Windows 10 was in 2019, while every new emoji update past that year is only supported in Windows 11.

I'd be curious how to fix this problem you describe as well. I recently received a message in the Windows emoji that said I had TWO files and now half my emojis show up as squares and the other half show the emoji. That message won't show up again and I didn't write it down. So I'm guessing I have TWO files that it's trying to read and that's confusing the emoji applet in Windows. I'd love to fix it. But have no desire to waste half a day trying to explain the problem to people at Microsoft who don't speak English and don't listen before they try to answer a problem. Any suggestions how to remove that second file to fix this?
