Frequently Asked Questions

Why do emojis look different on different devices?

Unicode defines emoji meanings, but each platform (Apple, Google, Windows) creates their own visual designs. The same emoji code displays differently on iOS vs Android.

Are emojis accessible?

Screen readers read emoji names aloud. Use emojis to complement text, not replace it. Avoid using many consecutive emojis as they're read one by one.
