Well, he upscaled a set of emoji glyphs of a certain emoji font from a specific vendor. The true essence of an emoji would be the unicode, right? technically there are infinite representations of each, of which this is now a new set.
Also, I got a “Thank you” from a birthday message I sent, and my car reads out text messages, including emojis, and it read out “Yay! Thank you H_______ smiley-face, heart, folded hands medium dark skin tone.” Gave me a chuckle to hear it all read out.
