• The bulleted items are clarifications or comments. Some of these may end up being reflected in Unicode chart annotations.
• All of the images are only for illustration.
• The black and white Chart Glyphs are drafts for the Unicode charts. They may change. Vendors that support emoji would provide a colorful appearance for each of these characters.
• The Sample Colored Glyphs column use a variety of different styles to illustrate some possible presentations. However, the actual presentations on phones and other devices are up to vendors, subject to the considerations in UTR#51, Unicode Emoji.
