Squid Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Those new Emoji's have to be the ugliest thing around. Bit of a pain having to scroll down to the bottom of the list to find the originals that actually look good. Quote Link to comment

pwm Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Please, pretty please - kill the new emojis. It's even better with traditional character-based emojis than the current ones. Quote Link to comment

The originals at the bottom look low-res and blurry to me though. Quote Link to comment

The black-and white under "Smileys & People" looks horrible. ? The colored ones under "Default" looks good. The colored ones under "Converted" feels a bit small. Quote Link to comment

I still see two of those kinds: ☺️ and ☹️ They're tiny and don't really fit in with the others, maybe I should get rid of them. Quote Link to comment

eschultz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Even my poor normal-user test account, with 0 posts, has the skin tone option and color. Quote Link to comment

I don't have any option for skin tone. And just to verify - do you not see the uncolored emoji that I listed in my previous post? Now complemented with screen image of what I see: Edit: This is latest Chrome version on Windows 7. Edited June 19, 2018 by pwm Quote Link to comment

Not sure if it's a system font or a font the site downloads. But I prefer emoji that are actual images so all users will see the same thing. They change their nuances quite a lot when totally differently rendered. Same issue between Android and iPhone - scientific papers have shown that there is a very significant difference in emotion captured by the same emoji just because of the different rendering between the systems. So one systems "nice" emoji feels partially hostile on the other system. That really isn't helping users conveying mood. Quote Link to comment

eschultz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 and Chrome from Windows 10 looks a bit different: So these aren't "images" but rather the browser/OS is rendering these emoji (like a system font). Each one of these are essentially just a single unicode character. Quote Link to comment
