However, the design behind this redesign does not change the design languageBecause Microsoft plans to do it with its own emojis, But they are easily recognizable by the whole world.

So the pie emoji that represents a slice of pumpkin, now looks like a whole pie. The emoji of a masked man is depicted with closed, sad eyes so far. This will no longer be the case following the health crisis. For emojis representing vehicles, Google decided to increase the readability ratio in a small space. The same is true for many new emojis representing foods such as croissant, bacon, rice blog or shrimp fritters.
