Editing Emoji (section)

===Implementation by different platforms and vendors===
Apple first introduced emoji to their desktop operating system with the release of [[Mac OS X Lion|OS X 10.7 Lion]], in 2011. Users can view emoji characters sent through email and messaging applications, which are commonly shared by mobile users, as well as any other application. Users can create emoji symbols using the "Characters" special input panel from almost any native application by selecting the "Edit" menu and pulling down to "Special Characters", or by the key combination {{key press|Command|Option|T}}. The emoji keyboard was first available in Japan with the release of [[iPhone OS 2|iPhone OS version 2.2]] in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Apple releases iPhone Software v2.2|url=https://appleinsider.com/article/?id=10447|website=AppleInsider|access-date=February 28, 2017|archive-date=March 1, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301180231/http://appleinsider.com/article/?id=10447|url-status=dead}}</ref> The emoji keyboard was not officially made available outside of Japan until [[iOS 5|iOS version 5.0]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Standard Emoji keyboard arrives to iOS 5, here's how to enable it|url=https://9to5mac.com/2011/06/08/standard-emoji-keyboard-arrives-to-ios-5-heres-how-to-enable-it/|website=9to5Mac|date=June 8, 2011|access-date=February 28, 2017}}</ref> From iPhone OS 2.2 through to iOS 4.3.5 (2011), those outside Japan could access the keyboard but had to use a third-party app to enable it. Apple has revealed that the "face with tears of joy" is the most popular emoji among English-speaking Americans. On second place is the "heart" emoji, followed by the "Loudly Crying Face".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2017/11/03/face-with-tears-of-joy-most-popular-emoji/ |website=MacRumors |date=November 3, 2017 |first1=Joe |last1=Rossignol |title=Apple Says 'Face With Tears of Joy' is Most Popular Emoji in United States Among English Speakers|access-date=November 3, 2017|language=en}}</ref>{{Better citation needed|reason=The current source is insufficiently reliable ([[WP:NOTRS]]).|date=August 2024}}

An update for [[Windows 7]] and [[Windows Server 2008 R2]] brought a subset of the monochrome Unicode set to those operating systems as part of the ''[[Segoe|Segoe UI Symbol]]'' font.<ref name="An update for the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is available">{{cite web |url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2729094|title=An update for the Segoe UI symbol font in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is available|publisher=Microsoft Support |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141229143136/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2729094 |archive-date= Dec 29, 2014 }}</ref> As of [[Windows 8.1]] Preview, the ''Segoe UI Emoji'' font is included, which supplies full-color pictographs. The plain Segoe UI font lacks emoji characters, whereas Segoe UI Symbol and Segoe UI Emoji include them. Emoji characters can be accessed through the onscreen keyboard's {{key press|😀}} key or through the physical keyboard shortcut {{key press|Win|.}}.

In 2016, [[Firefox]] 50 added in-browser emoji rendering for platforms lacking in native support.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/50.0/releasenotes/ | title=Firefox 50.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes |website=Mozilla |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240115064222/https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/50.0/releasenotes/ |archive-date= Jan 15, 2024 }}</ref>

[[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] replace all Unicode emoji used on their websites with their own custom graphics. Prior to October 2017, Facebook had different sets for the main site and for its [[Facebook Messenger|Messenger]] service, where only the former provides complete coverage. Messenger now uses Apple emoji on iOS, and the main Facebook set elsewhere.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://blog.emojipedia.org/facebook-discontinues-messenger-emojis/ |title=Facebook Discontinues Messenger Emojis |date=2 October 2017 |publisher=[[Emojipedia]] |first=Jeremy |last=Burge |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230924002918/https://blog.emojipedia.org/facebook-discontinues-messenger-emojis/ |archive-date= Sep 24, 2023 }}</ref> [[Facebook like button#Use on Facebook|Facebook reactions]] are only partially compatible with standard emoji.<ref>{{Cite web|title=👍 Facebook Emoji List — Emojis and Reacts for Facebook|url=https://emojipedia.org/facebook/|access-date=2022-02-07|website=Emojipedia|language=en|quote=Facebook provides animated "emoji" reactions to posts. Reactions do not correspond to specific emoji in the Unicode standard (...). In March 2020, Facebook added a ''Care'' emoji reaction as an additional option in response to COVID-19. This is displayed similarly to a hugging face holding a red love heart. This ''Care emoji'' is not available as a standardized Unicode emoji, and can only be used in reactions to Facebook posts.}}</ref>
