Apple’s emoji are the best, but finding them is the worst<article>
<section class="page">
<p>I don’t know when I first noticed emoji. I probably assumed they were just another way for software to convert text-based emoticons into actual images, a feature I first saw in iChat on the Mac. But eventually I discovered that there was an entire catalog of iconography that was being used as part of Internet communication, and not too long after that, I came to embrace it. Like ASCII smileys before them, emoji add expressiveness to text chat, and that’s a good thing. </p><p>Apple has embraced emoji, too. With the release of iOS 9.1 and OS X 10.11.1, which
added 184 new emoji symbols, Apple’s devices now feature
every single emoji in the Unicode standard. Not only is someone at Apple making sure that it’s on top of the emoji world, but the art direction of Apple’s emoji is superb. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3002238/ios/apples-emoji-are-the-best-but-finding-them-is-the-worst.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
