It does look like a good "works on my machine" proof-of-concept, but are you going to copy those emoji from something other than a browser? Probably wouldn't hurt to specify the text editor too and settings needed to match the intended file size as well.

Emoji are text. Which text editor/browser/settings should I be using to ensure I copy your reply accurately? With the exception of (sigh) newlines, I surely hope your text editor accurately records the characters you paste into it. This job isn't different just because the characters are strange, multi colored ligatures. Edit: As long as you work in UTF-8 that is, but you have to go out of your way to use any other encoding as an interchange format these days, even if alternative internal encodings aren't uncommon-

  Some relatively recent emoji might not work in outdated browsers/operating systems. Generally, emoji font are regularly updated, but if you're using the stock browser (or Safari) on an outdated phone, you might not be able to render a lot of these emoji. Missing emoji should still be copyable though, it just won't look as funny.

    Why the Safari bash? Every single one works. Apple keeps their emoji list pretty up to date.

      Apple doesn't keep their emoji list up to date. Apple invents new emojis, implements them, and once enough people are using it, unicode will pretty much have to incorporate it. They're pretty much to emojis what google is to web standards.

      On iOS (and the same OS in other form factors), Safari is tied to your operating system. Unlike Android or Windows or even macOS, your browser cannot be updated when your device no longer gets feature updates. In the EU one could theoretically deploy an alternative browser engine, but that relies on the version of iOS being recent enough to get the changes that Apple had to make to permit that, and in practice there are no alternative browser engines yet.

  What did you use to get a 141 byte EMOJI.COM file from the first string of emojis?
