There is certainly a more uniform look to emoji design now, but there are still some differences and interpretations can vary.

They do look much nicer on IOS Russ; the PC renders are not particularly attractive, but thanks for the upgrade.

For me it is really funny since I use different Systems and the emoji look different 😉

These are all squares and not emoticons on my PC screen.

Like that Malvina Reynolds song, Little Boxes.

Remember? Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of tickey tackey and they all look just the same?

plus 1 for obscure folk song reference. Perhaps my favourite song of all time but as sung by Pete Seeger.

Thank god you got rid of the yellow skin colour. Now our asian friends no longer feel appropriated.

agreed. This is certainly a downgrade from the previous emojis...kind of like going back to a dot matrix printer.

This is the only one that can live up to the quality of my posts.

A nap as opposed to a long sleep experience? 😛

I didn't realise these things were staying!
(Thought it was a mistake)

THEY ARE AWFUL

I figured it's a move to handheld applethings - we oldies with W7 desktops using IE11 enjoyed the yellow square things, but millennials with appletoys need their fix and they outnumber us. Pity we can't have both.

😵 😉

They are still yellow on my tablet, just gumdrop-shaped now.
