The Power ⚡️ and Responsibility 😓 of Unicode Adoption ✨
summary
Unicode adoption unlocks emoji but breaks in surprising ways: Android’s early heart and horse artwork wildly misrepresent meanings, Slack lags two years behind the standard, and mismatched vendor renderings turn a grin into a grimace. Databases must use utf8mb4 end to end or an emoji can truncate input and enable WordPress XSS via thinking face. Use server-side image fallbacks with alt/title/aria (Twitter’s twemoji as an example) so everyone — screen readers, old phones, and browsers — sees the same intent.
