Emoji: how do you render U+1F355?

&quot;An emoji is a coloured glyph.&quot;<p>OK. Stop right there. An emoji is a glyph, it need not be colored. The funny part, is that on my system and my fonts, all the examples (not provided as PNGs) are plain black-and-white renderings with the Symbola font. Even on Chrome on Linux, I don&#x27;t even see the Canadian flag example she shows.<p>Really, most of this seems solid but it continues a rather annoying trend of assuming that Apple&#x27;s font are <i>the</i> emoji. At least she recognizes that other fonts exist, but carries on this assumption...

FWIW, linux also has some emoji that are colour, albeit, gecko-only: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;eosrei&#x2F;twemoji-color-font" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;eosrei&#x2F;twemoji-color-font</a>

<i>Emoji does not have a plural in Japanese, so stop trying to make emojis happen.</i><p>In the long run, I would have preferred Gretchen make fetch happen rather than Regina make this turn of phrase happen.

Make sure you click the party emoji in the left menu.

Can we fork Unicode into a version that has none of these… things?

Is this a JS blog? It suddenly started talking about JavaScript for some reason.

And yet we still don&#x27;t have a good way of doing keyboard-input of arbitrary unicode characters based on their name &#x2F; description.

We&#x27;re using emojis as icons within an internal app now, and it works fantastically. I was kinda against emojis at first but having seen the use cases, they seem to be working out well.

Related, why is Whatsapp missing the facepalm emoji, U+1F926?

Does anyone know which atom theme that is? All I found was a squirrel in the html.

Awesome article! Thanks for the share!

FFS why do we even need emoji? This is ridiculous.

Sigh. I remember when font color used to mean something.

I could have done without the first paragraph, but other than that this was interesting and well written.<p>I particularly enjoyed the roll-over effect on the links.

hint: if you write an article about something that is broken and constantly moving by the hour, do not use that thing to document your article.<p>if she didn&#x27;t use utf but images (to talk about the rendering) that article would have been something in 4 days, when it will be irrelevant because fonts and browsers will already have changed.<p>Also, people on the several platforms she dismissed as nobody-cares (android pre 5, linux, windows pre-7, etc) would have had a clue about the subject.
