- whalesalad 2y agoApple has the best emoji's, without a doubt. Everything else is wish.com garbage - especially Twitter.
- stouset 2y agoThe other vendors have improved significantly in the past few years… mostly by slowly converging toward Apple’s emoji design language.
- chrisco255 2y agoIt's not, and also another reason Twitter has its own emojis is so that the Tweets have the same text wrapping on every platform. This means you can actually use the tweets as a canvas filled with emojis and know that the formatting will be the same everywhere.

- recursive 2y agoWell yes. I don't think it's really defensible to render a code point using a glyph with a different semantic meaning. But "inconsistent" emoji rendering will always be a thing.
