RE: Enclosing BANKNOTE emoji?

I wish emojitracker had an option to see cumulative stats spanning only the last (say) 7 days, rather than (I assume) all time. This would be more representative of current usage, fixing the problem of recent introductions. Also, comparing the recent and long-term stats would highlight shifting

The emojiexpress.com site is useful to check which new emoji or combinations people actually use, but the stats are likely skewed by only measuring input from one platform. Another way to look at the emojitracker.com stats: 339M people in the Eurozone : 389K uses of Euro emoji 126M people in Japa

Look at http://www.emojixpress.com/stats/. The stats are different, since they collect data from keyboards not twitter posts, but they have a nice button to view only the news emoji. (The numbers on the new ones will be smaller, just because it takes time for systems to support them, and people to

A caveat about using emojitracker.com : it doesn't count newer emoji yet (e.g. U+1F37E bottle with popping cork is absent), thus, when they are added, their counts will be skewed. Leo On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 2:00 AM, Leo Broukhis wrote: > Thank you for the links, quite mesmerizing! > > On emojit

Hello, This is my first time posting here, so please forgive me if I don’t get all the ethics right. I would like to make a case for an aspect of my native language (Dutch) that has always been problematic in the digital realm. Some context: I’m a (typo)graphic designer with a background in

And so it is, also in the library world both before and after Unicode: for miagkii znak the prime is prescribed. The prime is also prescribed for some uses for standard transliteration in Tibetan and Hebrew/Arabic/Persian/Pushto: See:e.g. the relevant tables on https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/

Thank you for the links, quite mesmerizing! On emojitracker.com (cumulative counts, but only on twitter, AFAICS), U+1F4B5 ($) had quite a respectable count of 2932622 (well above the middle of the page, around 70%ile), U+1F4B7 (pound) had 514536 (around 30%ile), and U+1F4B4 and U+1F4B6 had around
