+
+Unfortunately the basic Windows GDI functions don't support colored fonts, so even if you have Unicode-supporting controls, your emojis would only show in black and white, just like when you paste them in Windows Explorer. This is a simple demo that shows how to use Direct2D and DirectWrite to display emojis in color. It's mostly based on [this C++ example](https://stackoverflow.com/a/71640767/6065864) by Code Doggo; for simplicity, I render it directly onto a Form rather than create my own window, which would be less useful for tB programmers anyway. There's limited use in this current forum, the ultimate goal here would be to turn this into an edit control.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Officially, colored fonts are only supported on Windows 8 and newer. If you have the proper updates installed, it *may* work on 7, but if it doesn't, since MS says it can't at all, I wouldn't be inclined to go crazy trying to find the exact steps.
+
+twinBASIC Beta 297 or newer is reommended to compile, though other recent versions should be fine.
+
+There's no external dependencies.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** There's (as of this writing) currently a bug in tB where the debugger used for running in the IDE causes crashes. So this demo will only work when fully compiled to an exe. This is an issue with all DirectX stuff.
