That makes a lot of sense too, and I hadn't put sufficient work into how that's implemented -- retrospectively that makes perfect sense.

I noticed that on new Emojis on my MacBook. Some of the new emojis like ‍ are rendered as "guy behind a MacBook" on my PC but on phones without the emoji as "guy emoji" and "computer emoji".

Same for ‍️ (male version of raise hand). On phones without the Emoji, it's just "male emoji" and "female raise hand emoji".

/e: oh, HN is stripping Emojis

This made me wonder if anyone had tried combining word2vec with emojis, and then I came across this:
