Hm... I wonder what emoji set Noto-Color-Emoji actually supports. I figured the answer was "All of it" but in the past ~week I've started seeing emoji it doesn't support.

Might be related to the Masto 4.0 drop?
...huh that's why... the emoji I'm currently headscratching over is U+EA00, which is apparently registered and catalogued but is not intended to be used outside of closed gardens... except Mastodon supports it?

It's not supposed to support it.

@trysdyn I don't think it's that it's not supposed to support it, it's just a private use character. basically a "use this codepoint for whatever you want, no guarantees of interoperability", not an explicit "don't use this codepoint unless X"

@Felthry Well what I read is explicitly what I said. Turns out it's not a status that's actually used by the unicode consortium or anything.

What happened is Twitter made their own font and said "EA00 is our logo in this, everyone else deal with it" so it's more that codepoint is a land mine than it's actually registered there.

Fuck.
