Q: What happened to my gavel emoji??

I would like to know where it went also!

This *****! Apple be slippin.

You could try just saying what you mean.....

Yeesh, didn't realize that was a 'bad word'... okay, this [stinks]... like, I try.

No, I meant you could try saying what you mean instead of using the emoji.

Oh. Emojis express so much more than words, with so much less effort! It's the forefront of human evolution and I refuse to be setback by Apple's deconstructive tinkering. R.I.P. Steve Jobs, I am going Google.

How strange. All along I've been laboring under the delusion that the written word was an advance over crude pictures. In solidarity, I will, going forward, only sent text messages (should we now call them emoji messages) compsed entirely of little pictures.

I am curious. What complex idea does the gavel represent?

And, just for you:

🔨 sorry all i got is this hammer

well, that didnt appear correctly at all ::|

I still have a hammer in my emoji.

You've just discovered one of the major problems using emoji. They aren't very cross platform friendly.
