EXHIBIT NOTE
Why Do Emojis Look Different?
Emoji characters are standardized by Unicode, but the visual artwork is created independently by platform and operating-system vendors.
That is why 😂, ❤️, or 🙏 can look familiar on your phone and slightly different on a friend's — same character identity, different drawings.
