Years after Twitter changed the pistol emoji with a green-and-orange water gun, X has determined to alter it again to a daily handgun. An X worker introduced the change in a post final week.
Emoji are common insofar as they share widespread designations throughout platforms (U+1F52B is the water pistol), that are determined by the Unicode Consortium. Nevertheless it’s as much as every platform proprietor to determine how they’re visually represented. That’s how we received the Nice Cheeseburger Emoji Debacle that was resolved in November 2017.
You’ll solely see the gun in case you’re taking a look at X on the internet — as of this writing, it doesn’t seem to have up to date in cell variations of the app, although that’s apparently on its method sooner or later.
