If you remembered the last time I did this on this blog, it was a mess... I was using Twitter's emojis back then, which still had support for older browsers like Internet Explorer since they were loaded as images and not fonts. And as you may expect, the emojis were VERY big! So big that they started to break the reading experience! So, after a few months of noticing this issue, I've decided to remove the custom emojis and let them be how the system decides.
But now, you may see that the Noto Color Emoji font displaying, and that is because just made it so that would be the Emoji font showing for everyone! No matter the platform!
I make this decision because I just added my YouTube RSS feed on the right side of the blog, which uses some emojies that may not be supported by all platform. For example, country flags (🇳🇱, 🇷🇴, 🇺🇲, 🇪🇺 etc.).
Besides that, I've chosen Google's emojies because they are the only Emoji font to receive the new approved emojies first. Which for me, is a big bonus.
Now I know that not all browsers and platform will be showing the Noto Color Emojis (Internet Explorer and older browsers), but at least I solved the problem with emojis not having a unified style across platforms!
Note: this change does not affect the mobile version of the blog.
