The heart really jumps off the page, doesn’t it?
- wodenokoto 6y agoUnicode also have hearts that aren’t colored pictures (which gets filtered out if you try to write them on HN apparently) But then again, some people get a black line. I guess we can let others get a colored emoji.
- robin_reala 6y agoIt’s actually down to what Unicode you use. We ran into this on Standard Ebooks tooling for return-to-text arrows in the endnotes, and the solution is to add a U+FE0E character after the emoji to indicate a textual rendering is preferred.

- cpach 6y agoWow. Never heard of the variation selector before.
- wodenokoto 6y agoI had no idea about that being a thing. I was thinking of the symbols that predates emoji, like the white heart suit from the early 90s https://emojipedia.org/white-heart-suit/ https://emojipedia.org/white-heart-suit/
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoAs they say in the industry: It stands out like dog balls. In a good way. I’m Australian and it’s quite emotive seeing that. Well done, it’s really beautiful.
- swiley 6y agoIf you’re on an OS that lets you manage the fonts yourself you can use GNU Unifont. It has monochrome bitmaps for all of the enoji and fits much better with the rest of the text. Personally I think colored emoji are a mistake.
