Some time ago, I noticed that youtube comments are copied without emojis, thought nothing of that - bugs happen - but today I finally decided to find out why and what the hell is even this.

    if the user doesn’t have a suitable font installed

    Then they can just download the font. No need for images.

    I bet this is about making the emoji animated or something

        Why wouldn’t it be? I don’t mean install it, they could just download it on page load like other fonts
