Upside down it’s a scrotum. LOL
Reminds me of this
How does something like that happen? Did google make a machine to interpret the b&w representations? Surely a person would have read the text “yellow” at some point in the process.
Unicode is now adding legacy computing symbols with character sets for old computers like PET, even very obscure ones. Meanwhile Android 4.4 was installed on hundreds of millions of devices. Maybe there’ll be a hairy heart one day, perhaps by allowing the modifier sequence of colored heart + hair color?
They’re trying to emulate the look of the original in the reference design. Otherwise, I don’t see how
1CC50 ALIEN CRAB STEPPING RIGHT 1CC51 ALIEN CRAB STEPPING LEFTare very much not mirror images of eacb other.
Inclusive hairy heart! Lovely
Because Unicode supposed to be a universal way for forming letters, not cater to stupid kids. Throw out that emoji shit out of Unicode!
I remembered something from years ago. Maybe 20 years or more. I sent a message to my friend, either through MSN or SMS, and the emojis I sent were different ones on the receiving end. Either it was the case for a different language settings or a different phone manufacturer or both.
Anyway, if we had unicode back then it would not have happened. Really a minor story though, I would not make importance of it.
It is still the case to some extent: the look of emojis is controlled by the font, not the Unicode per se. So the mountain pictogram in some font is a colorful image of the mountain, but on other font it is just a triangle.
┌────┬─────────────────┬────┐ │ 🐺 │ Unicode is fun! │ ✨ │ ├────┴─────────────────┴────┤ │ Never heard of ASCII art? │ └────────────────┬──────────┤ │ -- Frost │ └──────────┘Don’t start with pseudographics. Unicode completely failed the task. Unicode pseudographics is incomplete (mostly noticeable in lack of the symmetrical chars) and this situation is not intended to improve. But they are always ready to add more stupid emojis.
🤦♂️
Uh, what are you talking about?
