text style vs emoji style

On the unicode website's emoji FAQ, it mentions the following:

Q: Is there any way to control the emoji presentation?
A: Certain characters can be followed by a special character called a variation selector to request a particular appearance: U+FE0F for the emoji style (typically colored), and U+FE0E for the text style (black and white). Only certain characters qualify: the exact characters are listed in the file StandardizedVariants.

Nothing of this sort is mentioned here on the page.
Also, here is a list of all characters that Unicode calls "emoji". The article shows all the blocks containing purely emoji, but then just says "additionally, some are found in some of these other blocks". Would it not be better to actually make a list like this one on Unicode giving every emoji character? --AndreRD (talk) 17:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I tried listing all of the Unicode emoji, and just the Unicode emoji, but it was undone as disorganized. I'm not sure what the criteria of the restored article is. For example, showing the Dingbats block in its entirety is misleading because only 33 of the 192 codepoints in it are considered emoji by Unicode. DRMcCreedy (talk) 06:13, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Criticism of emoji

The anti-standard implementations of the emoji character codes cause miscommunication when sending from one vendors device to a different vendors device. Links below explain the issue well. We should include the issue in the page.76.198.56.253 (talk) 01:52, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
