It would also be one of the very few app to use this set, making the matter even worse.\r\n\r\n+1 for native, as every platform has its set of guidelines and expected interfaces that an application wanting to live in that ecosystem should strive to adhere to. It's the reason why Telegram has one (or more) native app for each platform, instead of a single standard interface for every platform. Since emojis are part of the look and feel of a system, they too, like the rest of the interface, should respect the guidelines of the system where they are used.\r\n\r\nLet's also not forget that emojis are defined in a standard, so wildly mismatching representations (which seems to be the major reason why users are voting no on this issue) are a problem that the vendor themselves should fix, not the single applications."}}
