Emoji Sheriff is a meme from 2017, started by Brandon Wardell. More at knowyourmeme. Didn’t know about this when the dude made the rounds. You might also like this one from 1904.
The original emoji set, made by Shigetaka Kurita for DoCoMo in 1999 (top image, now in MOMA). The other images are from the 2001-version, which Monica recently turned into a font that you can use for free.
A few weeks ago, Google started to show emojis in the desktop search results. Now they’re removing them again. Perhaps because people pulled stunts like showing 5 star ratings? Emojispam? Or maybe just because they felt like it.
Either way, hello goodbye to emojigoogle. (btw, seems like AdWords briefly supported emojis in 2011)
