Wait so someone at google added this to gBoard unofficially. We need someone to create an apple keyboard with this too.

Are they free? The following makes it sound like these websites pirate the graphics, so that wouldn't work for a keyboard for the App Store. >If you have an Android device I recommend downloading Gboard and giving it a whirl. If you don't have a phone running on Android … you could consider getting one lololol or trying it out on a number of unofficial websites (tsk tsk! I don't approve!!! :Face-with-Symbols-on-Mouth…

Ok, I read her article but didn’t follow the links. The emoji kitchen is a google gBoard project, Jennifer works on the gBoard team and is part of the emoji kitchen team. All the other sites are just documenting (in fun ways) the work that the emoji kitchen team is doing. And apparently regular non-google people can submit combined emojis to the emoji kitchen to be added.

I guess it’s a question of who owns the copyright.

Tangential, but I can hardly be the only one who thinks emoji are stuck in a preteen mindset, with poop being the naughtiest thing expressible. Which serious language has no words for sex, drugs and the tragedies that haunt a human life?

I meannnnnn if you know you know :)

Yes, this is because emojis are created by committee. The Unicode committee to be precise. If instead emojis could be drawn and inserted in messages and maintained and shared through emoji-libraries by actual users, then we would get an actual naturally evolving language. Much more interesting.

It's possible in Slack. Every Slack workspace has its set of own emoji. Some of them are unique, some are almost universal.

party parrot might be the most common across the Slacks I've been into

Using the magic wand on any emoji gives the blob version of that emoji https://emoji.supply/kitchen/?%F0%9F%AA%84+%F0%9F%99%82=849

That is frankly fantastic... I absolutely adore the blob emoji, so much so that the default emoji that ship with my product are the blobs.

... or programs could just display images instead of continuously approximating them (which is why unicode is so bloated and unreasonable about)

Is it even a real company if they don't have the party parrot?
