     @freetar @redstarfish I never use proprietary emoji's.
     
     I draw the line at pictograph characters.

     I don't usually use emojis, so I don't have a program to select them. However, if I ever need one, I just execute `printf '\U270C\n'` in GNU Bash to print it.

     @Zergling_man @freetar @redstarfish There are codepoints defined as emoji blocks and are clearly intended to be emoji and pictographic characters that long predate emoji.
     
     In the case where a single character is used, with a decent font you get an acceptable result - underline, italics and bold etc have predicable results.
     
     When you have multiple characters to set "skin tones" and combinations like "male pregnancy", or two separate charters to show one character that is a coloured flag, then you get something utterly unrender-able.

     @Suiseiseki @redstarfish @freetar >proprietary emojis
     Doesn't that depend on the font?
