		__jonas on July 15, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: New emojis in 2023-2024 Emojis are great as quick icons that take zero work to source, add in, align with text in the layout and size consistently. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, especially since people on hn love to complain about inclusion of unnecessary assets in websites that could be more lightweight.

Every platform has its own set of pictures for emojis. How can you possibly align and size them consistently?

I don't know what you are saying, they are always sized and aligned based on the font size regardless of platform or their appearance.
