Why does this emoji look different on my phone?

Unicode standardises the meaning of a character, not its drawing. Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung each ship their own artwork, so the same code point changes shape between devices.

Does copying work everywhere?

The character is copied as plain text, so it pastes into any app that accepts text. If the receiving app has no font for it, you will see an empty box instead.

Privacy

This library sets no advertising cookies, runs no analytics by default and sends no copy history anywhere. Three things are stored in your browser and never leave it:

ea_favorites — characters you starred.
ea_recent — the last characters you copied, so the rail at the bottom can show them again.
ea_prefs — your colour scheme and language choice.

Clearing your browser storage removes all three immediately. Search queries are handled by this server to return results and are not tied to a profile.
