Jeżeli użyjecie #emoji "woman-facepalming" albo "man-facepalming" w interfejsie webowym Mastodona, i spróbujecie usunąć je klawiszem backspace, to magicznie przekształci się ono w "person facepalming" (którego nie ma na liście na żadnej z moich instancji).
Jest tak dlatego, że te emoji są sekwencjami ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner — łącznik zerowej szerokości):
🤦♀️ to tak naprawdę 🤦 (U+1F926) + ZWJ (U+200D) + ♀️ (U+2640 U+FE0F).
🤦♂️ to tak naprawdę 🤦 (U+1F926) + ZWJ (U+200D) + ♂️ (U+2642 U+FE0F).
Zwróćcie uwagę, że U+2640 to proste ♀ ("Female Sign" — znak płci żeńskiej), a U+2642 to proste ♂ ("Male Sign" — znak płci męskiej). U+FE0F to "Variation Selector-16" (wybór wariacji 16), który przekształca "proste" znaki Unikodu w "prezentację emoji" (aczkolwiek wygląda na to, że #Mastodon sam przekształca je w emoji po publikacji).
Te emoji można też łączyć z modyfikatorami koloru skóry. Co ciekawe, nie używają one ZWJ (pewnie dlatego, że z założenia są modyfikatorami):
🤦🏿 is 🤦 (U+1F926) + 🏿 (U+1F3FF, "Modifier Fitzpatrick Type-6" — modyfikator typu 6 wg skali Fitzpatricka)
It's rather widespread so I almost didn't share it but they made so many flags I couldn't skip it. The repo is here. Check in the folder named Fediverse Packs to find the one for your instance.
@hvangalen A little bit of an investigation reveals that pre-standardization,
Microsoft did a proposal for supporting Emoji's in fonts. Their standard only works for Windows 7, 8 and 10 (pre-2016 anniversary update).
After the 2016 anniversary update, they started to supported the OpenType-SVG font files.
Fun fact, there is a MR available for WINE, related to NotoColorEmoji.ttf font 😂
Want some cool new #emoji for #Pride month? I've got a very interesting set to recommend today, the Yingmotes set by @mynotaurus
To be totally honest, I hadn't heard of #yinglets until yesterday. They apparently come from a web comic called Out-of-Placers. They appear to be some kind of mythical rat-bird, but you'd have to ask someone more knowledgeable for details.
What makes the Yingmotes set so interesting to me is that while you can just download and use the 17 emoji where the yinglet is holding a flag as-is, or customize them with your favorite SVG editor, the repo also has instructions and code put together to make it easy to customize the yinglet. I've never seen an emoji set with a helper script that lets you specify the colors of the fur, tongue, eyes, etc of the character in them then generate a whole library of emoji with that palette. It's an incredibly cool idea.
You can make a set unique to you so your scrunkly lil creatura is the one waving those pride flags even if your level of artistic talent is best suited for customizing config files.
One tip for instance admins who want to use them: don't use the emoji resolution, get the full size ones instead. The emoji resolution may sound fine at 128×128 but it can create problems when scaled again in reactions or MFM.
On a personal note, I'm definitely adding the butterflies to kitty.social. While I always appreciate the ones that recolor a body or hold a flag because they're easy to add to, ones where each design is different are rare and special. I like how the different butterflies do different things. Identity isn't just pallette swaps.
Changed my #OpenBSD writing-dedicated box from running #cwm to #i3wm -- I like cwm, but it's still a bit too mousey for my taste.
I also changed all of my fonts (both xterm and i3/i3status) to be bitmapped (the "fixed" font), so everything is looking REALLY crisp.
Maybe I'm getting quite crochety, but at this point, I think I'd much rather have a lower res screen with crisp bitmapped fonts than a crazy high-res screen and vector fonts.
The only thing I'm missing is #emoji. My i3status looks like
cpu 31% | load 0.80 | mem 9% | dsk 13.4% | net Gallifrey 82% | chrg 89% 0.00W | Sun 2024.05.26 06:42 AM
instead of
cpu 05% | 📈 load 0.29 | 28.5% | disk 59.7% | Gallifrey 67% | Sun 2024.05.26 06:42 AM

Sorry for late reply:meowSad:
I haven't set a licence for the two reasons...
the first, some fedi servers have imported it as emoji already.
Is there any problem if I set up a licence now?:meowthink:
and the second, I don't know much about licences.
model and texture are original (meaning don't use original blob and blobcat parts ), but design of blobcat based Noto Emoji and Blob Emoji community.
if set licence, Do I need to set Apache 2.0 licence?:meowthink:
(if possible, I want to set CC-BY licence)
(I posted from this account because I can't see a mension on io)
There shouldn't be an issue with them already being in use. The CC family of licenses attach to your copyrighted work. You have a bunch of rights associated with it as the creator and thus copyright holder. The CC license is a way of saying "in addition to what you are allowed to do according to copyright law, you may also do X, Y, and Z with it so long as you obey certain rules".
Debatably, any servers already using your creation without permission are violating your copyright and you could act to try to force them to take it down. The CC licenses are kinda like a binding promise that you won't do that. So there shouldn't be an issue there.
As for how licenses combine... I'm out of my depth. I think you are allowed to use design elements (or even actual assets) from Apache licensed stuff in Creative Commons stuff because the Apache License gives permission to do all sorts of stuff. But I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice. Maybe a #copyleft person can answer your question?
They created 16 pride designs in each of 6 different subsets: fire, flag, heart, comfy cat under a pride blanket, blobcat recolored, and blobcat holding a heart.
They are released as both SVG and PNG under a CC0 license.
While there isn't a zip of them with an emoji.json file, you'll probably have to import them by hand. Alternatively, possum.city seems to have a bunch of them already if you can import from there.
@moiety also created a set based on Gaysper which was reappropriated from the Spanish Vox party after they tried to use it as a hate symbol. It was originally the Android 5.0 emoji for ghost before being given rainbow colors.
