IsChinaByEmoji – A way for browser to detect if a user is from China
- ValdikSS 3mo ago- /** Determine if the current device is from mainland China using Emojis - * If the *Taiwan flag* characters cannot be displayed in color (rendered as black and white letters or not rendered at all), it indicates a device more likely to be from mainland China. - * To avoid false positives, *smiley face* will be used as a comparison: - * If the device cannot even render regular Emojis in color (such as Linux without colored Emoji fonts, - * a browser with fingerprint protection enabled), it returns null to indicate that it cannot determine the source, rather than falsely reporting true. */
