The issue I have with emojis is that they are rendered different on different fonts/devices, and because of this they can convey a different meaning.

- Klathmon 8y agoAnd text is read wildly differently depending on the readers's culture, mood, font, and how well they know the language. Communication is messy as hell, and the fact that emoji's render differently doesn't add that much confusion in most cases (of course there are the odd watergun vs revolver emoji problems, but the worst offenders are slowly being brought into line)
- toomanybeersies 8y agoIf I send a text message from Android to iPhone, the message is the same. Obviously there's cultural differences etc. but I can usually work with those if I know the person I'm sending a message to. However, emojis can change when sending them from my Android phone to an iPhone, changing the meaning of the message inadvertently.
