Worth noting that after I made this request, at least one editor at the RFD (@Tavix) expressed opposition to including this content here, so let's give him a chance to comment here before deciding whether or not to implement this request. Thanks, 61.239.39.90 (talk)
My impression after my first read was that the info would be awkwardly shoe-horned into the article purely to support the RfD, but a re-read makes me pause a bit. I don't think I'm explicitly opposed to it, but I'd like to hear a second-opinion. -- Tavix (talk) 05:05, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Are all new gender inclusive created through joining? If not, I think the "Modern-day emojis (2010–present)" section is a better place to showcase that gender inclusive emojis were added. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 14:18, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Proposal to use SVG file instead of Unicode

Please use SVG files because unicode emojis are device depended. Srijan Suryansh talk (ping me if you have birthday on 27/7/3.)) 04:35, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

I am not sure what you are proposing.
Are you talking about in this article specifically, or on the web as a whole?
Assuming the former, a {{

As for glyph variation between emoji fonts installed on different devices: in general, the discussion in this article in paragraphs where individual emoji are quoted is referencing those individual emoji or pictographs in abstract terms, rather than specific different glyphs for them; the discussion about the handgun, where differences between glyphs is a notable topic, already shows several glyph examples in image asides.

Semi-protected edit request on 28 December 2020: Animoji/Memoji

I would like to request the following edits.

  • In the sentences 'On September 12, 2017, Apple announced that the Messages app on the iPhones with Face ID would get "animoji", which are versions of standard emoji that are custom-animated with the use of facial motion capture to reflect the sender's expressions. These animoji can also utilize lip sync to appear to speak audio messages recorded by the sender.', change 'animoji' to 'Animoji'. So, the sentences would then become: 'On September 12, 2017, Apple announced that the Messages app on the iPhones with Face ID would get "Animoji", which are versions of standard emoji that are custom-animated with the use of facial motion capture to reflect the sender's expressions. These Animoji can also utilize lip sync to appear to speak audio messages recorded by the sender.'.
  • In the sentence 'With the release of iOS 13, Apple introduced "memoji" that allows the use of an avatar that a user can use to personalize messages; this feature does not require Face ID.', change 'memoji' to 'Memoji'. So, the sentence would then become: 'With the release of iOS 13, Apple introduced "Memoji" that allows the use of an avatar that a user can use to personalize messages; this feature does not require Face ID.'.

The reason why I am requesting these edits is because the words 'Animoji' and 'Memoji' seem to have been invented by Apple and they write these words with a capital first letter. For proof of that, please see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202332 and https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208986. Furthermore, also see the link referenced in number 152 of the references below the page: https://www.howtogeek.com/450743/how-to-create-and-use-memoji-and-animoji-on-an-iphone/.

I have made plenty of edits on the Dutch Wikipedia, but not on the English variant and apparently then I'm not an established user of the English Wikipedia… Richy8730 (talk) 18:19, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Done as requested and special thanks for the perfectly formatted request. SchreiberBike | ⌨  21:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
