emoji listing
|
| |
BTW, I added the emoji set to the unicode utilities, so with the following you can see a listing by age. These are the Unicode characters mapped to by the emoji sources. There are 749, but the listing you see "flattens" the multicharacter mappings, so it has 729. And if you're lucky enough to have an emoji font, they should appear in all their glory in HTML...... more »

Here's a current exhibit of why our emoji "flags" should not be considered symbols of flags. [link] Look down the righthand side of the page, to where the "TRANSLATE" buttons are for 6 languages. This is an example of changing localization practice, where UI designers, bit by the perils of the practice... more »

Hand characters
|
| |

My reply: My counter-question: would that be helpful to anyone? A cross-reference would be one thing (that would be clearly helpful). A formal compatibility decomposition is something that is to be applied in... more »
