      That’s not how emojis work. They look different for everybody. It all depends on how the client renders Unicode character U+1F62C. Just like text.

      Try it out. Find a PC with a web browser and find your comment and emoji, and see how it looks on a different platform.

        Oh, yeah, I know how emojis work using unicode, I just didn’t bother to attach an image of the Samsung 😬 emoji for laziness reasons (I myself don’t have a Samsung Smartphone either.)

        I’m sorry, I should have done that, now I have made myself look like a fool :')

            Haha no problem. We all are nerds around here, otherwise we’d probably be using Instagram and TikTok (and Reddit).

            Funny back story: I first learned about Unicode around 2013 - 15 (I always judge those wrong in terms of when I started using certain apps/sites)… Back then people would start commenting shit on YouTube using emoji but Firefox hadn’t introduced emoji support yet, causing them to be displayed as Unicode strings which lead to comments looking like this: “Hahaha, haven’t laughed like this in ages U+1F602 Best video ever U+2764”
