Huge players in the computing industry like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Windows, Mozilla and Apple have used Unicodes standards to decide on the symbols that should be renderable. This is particularly so for the big browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. They are very quickly aligning with all of Unicode's text symbols. Fairly recently, Unicode introduced a large number of "emoji" characters into its specification. This means that text can actually contain emojis (not images embedded in text). Unicode has steadily introduced more emojis over the last few years and internet browser and operating systems (like iOS and Android) are also supporting textual emojis. So we can now put emojis in any text that we want and just treat them like normal text characters - we can even copy and paste emojis just like we do with text! Along with this text emoji hype, there's been lots of experimentation with how they're used. Once such experimental exploration has been into the use of emojis in artwork - just like the original ASCII art used ASCII characters, so emoji art uses emojis. The difference between emoji pictures and ASCII are is simply that emoji pictures have a much stronger emphasis on the emoji characters.Įmoji art may also use other Unicode symbols as well - text art with emojis is fairly common because there aren't enough emojis to represent all the different shapes required to do good emoji art. The emoji icons used on this site are the open-source emoji set that originated on Twitter. They're big and cute and friendly compared the the other sets and that's why I decided to use them. This means that the emoji artworks on this site should translate into cool emoji art tweets without too much trouble. The term "emoji picture" usually refers to a specific type of emoji art: one in which emojis are used as "paint" rather than as actual parts of bodies/landscapes/etc. There is a lot of overlap between emoji pictures and emoji art, just as there is a lot of overlap between text art and emoji art, but it is often a useful distinction.
