Problem is that each tech company uses a proprietary set of emoji so they couldn't standardize even if they wanted. Many instant messaging apps work around this by using their own emoji set for all users but this is also often annoying especially when the emoji are ugly.
- amelius 5y agoThe solution is to allow users to use their own svg libraries when sending messages, and the ability to manage these libraries by copying inline symbols from messages sent by others. This would promote an open culture of creating inline symbols. E.g. where is our "covid" symbol, and why do we have to wait for the Unicode consortium to define it for us, and app makers to implement it??
- xaedes 5y agoPlease not. That would be the tower to Babel. Afterwards we are all just going bla bla and don't understand each other at all, because everyone invents its own funny secret emoji language.
