Why emoji look different on every device

Unicode assigns each emoji a code and a name, and nothing more. Each company designs its own artwork for the code: Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft all draw a grinning face in their own way. The meaning is the same, but the feeling can change, and a joke that works on one phone can look odd on another. Combined emoji, such as families and couples, are built from several emoji joined by an invisible joiner, so an older system may show the parts one after the other.
