I can't get emojis when I hit control + Command + Spacebar. I used to be able to use those keys to get emoji's but about 2.5 weeks ago it stopped working. How do I solve this? I have the keyboard and emojis viewers in menu bar checked under the keyboard settings.
Has an update messed with it? How can I get them back?
