Re: Rights to the Emoji

Twemoji are Open Source, but published under CC-BY and that license requires attribution which might be challenging in this specific use case. On Oct 11, 2015 10:46 PM, "Mark Davis ☕️" wrote: > The twitter images are open sourced, I believe. > > {phone} > On Oct 12, 2015

Re: Rights to the Emoji

Those listed in the column titled "Native" come from the operating system (in your case, Mac OS X) and/or browser you are viewing that page on. One can assume that the right to those belong to the entity who develops those software. A safer approach for you would be to use symbols from Emoji One[1

Since the double-diamond has map and map legend usage, it might be a good idea to have it encoded separately. I know that I'm stating the obvious here, but the important point is doing the research and showing that it has widespread usage. ↪ Shervin On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Shawn Steele

rules haven't changed. Unicode didn't have a policy regarding emoji and symbols with similar usage. Now it does. For a longer while now, some folks tend to use emoji as means to an end other than what is in the scope of conversation regarding emoji. And that is not acceptable. ↪ Shervin On
