Why are different emoji images shown in URLs and browser title for the same emoji? 😱

Stop using Windows?

Here’s Invasion forums’ emoji picker for me on Ubuntu/Chrome (they use native emojis everywhere, by the looks of it):

The Google ones are great (I guess they’re coming from Chrome itself?), and the outline ones actually look half decent (if a bit bland due to lack of color), but there’s no consistency. Not sure if that’s better or worse than Windows overall.

@codinghorror

If anything we’re moving toward the latter – it is cleaner to use the unicode representation of the Emoji rather than bodging an arbitrary image in there.

Definitely true, but IMO the widespread support/coverage is still quite a long way off (at least judging by that image).
