- tinus_hn 9y agoThat’s also the problem because Unicode specifies what the emoji show but not how they show it and not exactly. For instance, there may be an emoji for ‘finger pointing’ and Apple or another party may show that with a finger pointing left. Users do not know the emoji has no specified direction so they use it in situations where it looks wrong if the finger points right.
