fn key not working for emojis as it should

I keep clicking on the fn key on my 13-inch MacBook air m2 2022 to display the emojis and it takes a while before it does. Sometimes, it doesn't even respond. I'm currently on the latest version of MacOS Ventura and I hope someone can tell me how to fix this soon. It's been happening for a long time and I thought it was probably a bug issue with the OS updates but it has been the same since I got the laptop in 2022.

MacBook Air, macOS 14.3

Touch Bar Emojis don't work on Ventura The emoji function on the touch bar on my M1 MacBook Pro stops working and requires a restart to start working again. It will only work a few times before failing and not letting me click on it anymore; requiring another restart. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a workaround?

Emoji keyboard won't appear on my MacBook Pro M3 MacBook Pro, M3, MacOS 15.2 When I hit Cmd-Ctrl-Space or Fn-E, the emoji keyboard should appear, but it doesn't. I've noted that in the Activity Monitor, the 'Emoji & Symbols' app appears and when I kill it and try again, it still doesn't work. The only solution is to reboot. This occurs now and then, not all the time and sometimes from the start of a (cold) boot. But rebooting is frustrating! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Recent emojis not working after clearing frequently used characters After updating my Macbook Pro to Sequoia 15.3.1, i noticed my recent emoji section wasn't updating. It was stuck on the last emojis i was using before the update. So i decided to clear frequently used characters in the emoji and symbols panel. But now it's even worse. The recent emoji section is completely gone and it's not storing any of my frequently used emojis, no matter how much i use an emoji. And when i use a hand emoji of a certain skin color for example, it's not even retaining my preference automatically like in previous MacOS versions. Never happened before
