Re:Noto emoji, a new black and white emoji font with less color by DocTomoe on Monday May 02, 2022 @08:17AM (#31234146)
With symbols, it is often better to have simplified, general-purpose representations as compared to highly specific ones. E.g. it's better to have a highly stylized "aircraft" emoji [1] than a tiny, but screw-accurate variant of a weird little plane like the Edgely Ocular [2].
