How the fuck did the yellow heart emoji end up being upside-down hairy balls in Android??

@volpeon The version before that was black and white, with different heart colours using different hatching patterns taken from heraldry. Yellow was dots, kinda like screentone. Whoever did the colour version apparently interpreted it as stubble.

@Anke That makes sense. You'd think someone would check this before the release

@volpeon unicode reference is in black and white, yellow heart is thus a heart with dots in it. so emoji designer somehow interpreted this as hairy heart and disregarded the name. and the world is better for it

@volpeon The yellow heart is the modern emoji. But in 2011 it was just a stubble.

@volpeon Well, they did specify Android 4. That's a really old version from more than ten years ago (2011.)
How emoji gets interpreted can vary by manufacturer in the case of less "standard" ones and the base for it simply was different. (I have to say that in those days I don't think I ever saw anyone ever use either though.)
(I really don't think they meant for it to be interpreted... quite the way you did though.)
