Cropped screenshot because I don't wanna be mean to OP but this post sickens me more than it should. "this new emoji apple added" as if a tech company created and defined emoji instead of merely having a conforming design made for its branded font and adding it to their emoji keyboard after the Unicode Consortium my beloved defined its intended general appearance and code point and name (in September 2025). The Unicode Consortium has granted us a new emoji. The Unicode Consortium decides which series of 0s and 1s corresponds to what character. It's the reason you're reading these words with all the same letters that I wrote them with, regardless of whether your device uses the same operating system or language as mine. Because our devices (and the fonts we're viewing the text with) both follow the Unicode Standard. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it amazing? There are even Unicode blocks (sections of the entirety of possible valid combinations 1s and 0s) for the scripts of endangered and extinct languages!! And more being defined as time passes! I know most people haven't gone down the same text rendering rabbit holes I have but I really wish there was more appreciation for Unicode :(
