Sparkle emoji is appearing instead of notification count

[Evercyan (Cyan)]

The Roblox website on Chrome seems to have an issue with displaying your notification count as a sparkle emoji instead of the number of notifications. This is prevalent on both the tab name, as well as your chat messages. I asked a few users who had Chrome, and they can confirm it’s happening to them as well, where one is on Opera GX and it isn’t an issue (at least in the tab).

It’s probably a new feature, since this completely new and just added a few days ago. It’s also happening to me.

This is also occuring on Microsoft Edge, Windows 11. It’s a bit odd…

i dont understand why they would remove the number and replace it with a sparkle out of all things, not even an exclamation mark or smt

This is an intentional, temporary change while we wrap up some background migrations with chat.
