Additions

edit

Some vendors, most notably Microsoft, Samsung and HTC, add emoji presentation to some other existing Unicode characters or coin their own ZWJ sequences.

Microsoft displayed all Mahjong tiles (U+1F000‥2B, not just U+1F004 🀄 MAHJONG TILE RED DRAGON) and alternative card suits (U+2661 WHITE HEART SUIT, U+2662 WHITE DIAMOND SUIT, U+2664 WHITE SPADE SUIT, U+2667 WHITE CLUB SUIT) as emoji. They also supported additional pencils (U+270E LOWER RIGHT PENCIL, U+2710 UPPER RIGHT PENCIL) and a heart-shaped bullet (U+2765 ROTATED HEAVY BLACK HEART BULLET).

While only U+261D WHITE UP POINTING INDEX is officially an emoji, Microsoft and Samsung add the other three directions as well (U+261C WHITE LEFT POINTING INDEX, U+261E WHITE RIGHT POINTING INDEX, U+261F WHITE DOWN POINTING INDEX). Microsoft no longer supports these emojis now.


Both vendors pair the standard checked ballot box emoji U+2611 BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK with its crossed variant U+2612 BALLOT BOX WITH X, but only Samsung also has the empty ballot box U+2610 BALLOT BOX.

Samsung almost completely covers the rest of the Miscellaneous Symbols block (U+2600‥FF) as emoji, which includes Chess pieces, game die faces, some traffic sign as well as genealogical and astronomical symbols for instance.

HTC supports most additional pictographs from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (U+1F300‥5FF) and Transport and Map Symbols (U+1F680‥FF) blocks. Some of them are also shown as emoji on Samsung devices.

The open source projects Emojidex and Emojitwo are trying to cover all of these extensions established by major vendors.
