emoji button on keypad

Hello,


Many times when I hit the fn/globe button on the keypad of my MacBook Pro (it was the same with my previous M1 iMac), the emoji doesn't appear. I donut on the forum that a solution is to hit several times the button or to restart the computer, but are the developper team working to fix that bug? Because it's very strange to have to try many times before having the emojis... Not really Apple user friendly interface to have a button which works once a while...


Thank you :)

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.2

In the mean time, the keyboard short cut: Control Command Spacebar opens the Character Viewer for easy access

Yes you're right, but why making a feature which is not really user friendly. They put this feature to have access to emoji on that button (which is really helpful for people like me who use a lot of emojis 😉) if it doesn't work well. I lost the rabbit to use that shortcut since this feature appears, but it looks like I have to start again with Ctrl + Cmd + Space 😢
