Who's "people"? Consumers aren't gonna buy a new phone just to get U+22E5B VOMITING MALE PLATYPUS WITH DESCENDER, and system implementers are free to add the new emoji and ignore everything else in the standard.
- rbits 2y agoThey're not going to buy a new phone for it, but it might get them to update their OS
- whycome 2y agoDarn. my phone can't run that os. I guess I'll upgrade
- ksec 2y agoBut they are going to update to new iOS just to see that annoying emoji people keep using.
- troad 2y ago> U+22E5B VOMITING MALE PLAT[Y]PUS WITH DESCENDER Speak for yourself, I need this now! In general, I think new emoji is going to be more persuasive to the average person to update than 'bugfixes to VCard deserialisation in the Contacts app' or the other usual release notes.
- astrange 2y agoOh yes they are going to buy a new phone for that, at least if their friends send it to them and they can't see it. But mostly it just encourages them to install new free OS updates sooner.
- lifthrasiir 2y agoReminder: U+22E5B is an actual Unicode character, namely 𢹛 (which comes from Hanyu Dacidian and I have no further public information available, but anyway). New emoji usually goes into the specific portion of the Plane 1 so U+1Fxxx would have been more believable ;-)
