Oh wow, Apple renamed this to reflect what people were actually doing with it? awoo.space/media/RZ44t1tPBrMTX

@dog The original description always kind of baffled me because it sure didn't look triumphant. :|

@TrollDecker I think this is another cultural thing, since a lot of the depictions are based off the original Japanese emoji.

@TrollDecker Reminds me of my favourite emoji that doesn't cross cultural barriers, U+1F4DB - TOFU ON FIRE. 📛

@TrollDecker Okay I'm really upset that Mastodon's emoji set is rendering this incorrectly. emojipedia.org/name-badge/

@dog TBF, if you squint a little, EmojiOne's version does look a teensy tiny bit like a burning tofu. ¬.¬
