Since each smartphone platform (e.g., Apple, Google) has its own emoji font, the same emoji character can look quite different on different smartphone platforms. This is why when a Google Nexus owner sends Google&#8217;s grinning face with smiling eyes emoji to a friend with an iPhone, the iPhone owner will actually see Apple&#8217;s grinning face with smiling eyes emoji. This problem isn\u2019t just limited to iPhones and Nexuses: check out all the different renderings of the single emoji character we\u2019ve been discussing:<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hate emoji.
