Perhaps you're missing the point of emoji. In phones they use some symbols in the ASCII/UTF-8 as the underlying symbols. And while the emoji render correctly on phones a LOT of systems, 12.04 stock and 14.04 stock included (and I have tested this) don't display the graphics and only display the symbols. Lubuntu does no rendering of them as images at all. That prevents the emoji from "working". I agree the use of graphics is sound, but not Emoji. Actual small sized pictures, understandable, but Emoji make no sense since not everything renders them as pictures. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~papercuts-ninja Post to : papercuts-ninja@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~papercuts-ninja More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
