I fucking hate how the Windows gun emoji is a laser pistol while everyone else has either a revolver or semi-auto pistol of some sort. I feel like they should just go with what everyone else is doing for consistency. I've seen some questionable emoji designs but that's the only flat-out ignoring the source material I've seen.
Kinda strange that a few years ago emoji was some app that you had to download in order to use (others needed to download it as well to see them) and now its a global standard
Well that's stupid. Why remove something unrelated to a shitty situation when target shooting has been an olympic sport for some time now? Boo hoo, they're fucking guns. Goddamn sensitive sallies are ruining the planet.
Thank god that rifle could have killed someone
We don't need to take the emojis away, we just need better emoji laws!

Emoji existed way, waaayy before these apps exposed Unicode versions of them. Japanese phones used them for years. It's only since 2010 that we've had proper support for them in the west thanks to the Unicode Consortium. And it was a few more years after that that OS makers actually started to expose more of unicode to us plebian users.
Those apps weren't really doing anything special other than mapping emoji to their own bespoke thing or exposing the unicode versions if they were supported. Blame Apple for this, exposing the Emjoi keyboard in iOS 2 or something has doomed us all.

You know, if they want to fuck around they should just make the gun emoji point the other direction, as if right not left.
So that you know, the meaning of every use is completely inverted.
This is so fucking stupid. Doesn`t this actually go [B]actively [/B]against the idea of unicode, which is mapping all the shit?
Before you go get your panties all in a bunch over the removal of this dangerous emoji, just think of all the school shootings it's going to prevent.
Wasn't the rifle emoji denied months ago? People are going to think this is political narrative from Unicode Consortium...

Are you saying that the idea of Unicode is to have an emoji for literally every possible object?
[QUOTE=Kljunas;50560169]Are you saying that the idea of Unicode is to have an emoji for literally every possible object?[/QUOTE]
The idea of Unicode is to have a standard encoding format for every character from as many languages as possible. Emoji is taking that concept and applying it to symbols and every [I]identifiable[/I] object with the philosophy of language without words. Honestly a rifle makes sense, but Unicode Consortium must have a good reason for turning the idea down.
It probably gave the coders temporary ptsd
this is how it starts!

We could always hack it in as compound character. 🦌🔫 with a zero width joiner in-between should do the trick.
