Just learned that there is a difference between Emoticons (aka Emoji) and Unicode characters. The difference comes down to whether or not your operating system understands what to do with it. Even if you have a font that can display the character, it is up to the operating system whether it will show it to you or not. For example in macOS, it will display the “SUPERHERO” ? character in TextEdit, but not in WhatsApp. That choice by the operating system seems to be the difference between the two. Whatever the case, all of the characters listed here are plain old Unicode characters that will display everywhere you’ve got a font that includes them.
