Wait, (from the first link) the hiking emoji isn't real either? Could have sworn there was one with a guy (and a girl one) taking a step while holding a walking stick/staff.

How do the emojis get selected/assigned? It feels like tugging on that thread might help resolve this. They don't just randomly show up; someone decides to assign a unicode value, artists create the images for many platforms and emoji packs/fonts, code interprets the unicode and replaces it with the associated image.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
