Comment on Youtube replaced unicode emojis with fucking images
Azzu@lemm.ee 2 months agoI guess that makes more sense now that I see an example. I just can’t fathom how any Apple artist thought they made a “grinning face with smiling eyes” when they looked at that image. It’s “grimacing face with smiling eyes” very obviously. I thought all representations were like the others in this example - they all look like a “grinning face with smiling eyes”. They look different but it doesn’t matter.
I still think though that if there weren’t obvious mistakes like this, it doesn’t matter how the “grinning face with smiling eyes” exactly looks, or any other emoji for that matter.

It’s clearly another way to wall the apple garden further, to the point where you don’t get to communicate in an effective way unless you both have an iPhone.

That isn’t what the grinning face with smiling eyes ever looked like on iOS. I have no clue where that article got that. And it’s not what it looked like on other platforms either. They have their emoji confused and so you can’t even trust the survey at that point. Here is the history of the emoji across platforms. emojipedia.org/grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes#de…. And I’d say that google’s emoji versions look bad compared to the iOS versions. Samsung’s are horrendous though.
And just for comparison here is the grimacing face history. emojipedia.org/grimacing-face#designs
