    Emojis are standardized. They may look different in different devices, but the code of a “raised hands” emoji will always be the same, just like the code for A is always the same.

    Removing old ones could be a problem, though.

      What if I am using a device that doesn’t support emojis? wouldn’t I need to learn the code for each emoji I have used in a password?

        That’s a good question, and yeah, I guess you’d either avoid using emojis or accept the fact that they’re not universally supported.

        Having said that, some people use non-ascii characters in their passwords, such as Œ which is a valid letter in some alphabets, and they’d run onto the same issue.

        Yes

        But how many modern devices don’t somehow support emojis though?

        And how many of those you need to enter a password in?

      Just like a gun is standardized to a water gun for some and a real gun for others?

      Edit: I get your point, ita just if you memorize your password with emoji icons different icons would screw up your tries to log in

        If you search for “gun” in your device when selecting an emoji, just pick whatever comes up. Done.
