This update brings new emoji, emoji improvements, bug fixes and updates on the experimental fonts introduced last version.
New emoji
Hoof hands, neurodiversity symbol, road vehicles, places and many more! Show your allegiance to Big Soy with the new tofu emoji!
Updated emoji
As part of ongoing efforts to upgrade the aesthetics of old emoji, even more emoji have been updated. Beefier muscle emoji, bigger punches, better bugbears, punchier gender symbols, improved colours, outlines and more.
Improved Fonts
Fonts have been improved and changed around:
- Improved sbix font that should work more seamlessly.
- SVGinOT format has been depreciated. You should use the sbix font instead; it should work wherever SVGinOT works.
Fonts are still experimental though, and I can’t vouch for how much you’ll be able to use them, but the new sbix fonts generally have better stability and compatibility compared to the last version.
Yep, it’s still a big release
I’ve still done a big release at the moment despite still (kinda?) having the intention to work that out because I still haven’t figured out I’m going to automate things. At the moment, just making stuff and releasing it at a particular moment in time feels less stressful than working out and testing newer workflows, so I’ve gone with the path of least resistance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
