Yeh, so the current system seems better, because, although it's versioned, it doesn't need to constantly communicate with some central server. Also, another drawback is fonts need to be updated, but again, I think the benefits outweigh the costs.
- joveian 7y agoArguably it might be better to include a limited, space-optimized vector image format (something like HVIF, Haiku Vector Icon Format[0]) along with text rather than try to enumerate emoji, although there are also advantages to the current approach (smaller size for supported characters and meaning indpendent of representation). For the web there is already data: url and similar inline image options would be possible in many situations even without the basic text format including images.
