Thanks to apps like WhatsApp, emoji have become widespread on mobile devices. I'm referring to the various icons, which can be either smileys or anything else. Until recently, mobile users used the various emoji quite a bit, with users on the web version of Twitter simply seeing empty squares instead of the regular shapes. This is now changing.
As you can see in the tweet, emojis have become available on twitter.com for all users. If you're wondering why the above tweet is an image and not embedded on the site, the reason is that embedded tweets don't yet support the various icons, meaning they display empty squares.
In the case of Tweetdeck, there are still problems with emoji adoption, as some users view them normally, while others do not.
Finally, if you are hearing about emoji for the first time and are wondering how you can use them in your tweets, then let me inform you that depending on the operating system of your mobile device (Android, iOS, etc.), there are various applications in the app stores. For example, the Emoji Keyboard application for Android is one of them. In the case of iOS, you can enable emoji on your keyboard by following the instructions. If you want emoji and are using a computer, do a Google search and you will find several sites for copying and pasting the icons.
