From a thread asking opinions about emoji usage.
However it happens and whomever is responsible here we are... and we're losing ground fast. And things like emojis are leading the charge.
Should we tell them @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net is responsible?

Meanwhile, in Japanese:
A: "An owl is a bird on a tree, how shall we write it?"
B: "How about a bird 鳥 standing on a tree 木?"
A: "Splendid, 梟 it is"
Technically, that was a Chinese thing and then Japanese copied it.
Meanwhile, sometime before Unicode 9:
A: “梟 is cool but I’ll forget what it means. How else could we write it?”
B: “How about 🦉?”
A: “Splendid, get to work, font makers!”
Huh yeah, you're right. I thought 梟 was a Japanese origin Kanji but it's just a bit archaic in modern day Chinese use.
