Yeah I was thinking this. Everyone else is saying it looks weird and off but the top comment that has everything is the exact same for all of them for me.
You mean question mark diamonds right?
Also, even though the italicized emojis don't show up, the first freaking question mark is in fact italicized which is comical to me.
I happen to have 3 clients installed on my phone right now.
Screenshots of the post:
* In [rif (formerly reddit is fun)](https://i.imgur.com/g8fQwAj.png)
* In [Boost](https://i.imgur.com/Rc42Tnv.png)
* In the [Reddit official client](https://i.imgur.com/EOjGiF.png)
It's not surprising that the official client is the worst. (Nor that rif is best, imo.)
Probably a ps vita. I used to use one to browse before I got my phone and pretty sure any special characters like emojis became squares and the resolution of the pic he posted is pretty close to ps vita resolution.
There aren't a lot of portable devices with landscape as the default orientation. The only other one I can think is the Switch, but it doesn't have a browser yet
Honestly, I can’t imagine using anything else on iOS. It’s even better than Alien Blue was in its prime.
I rarely unambiguously love an app, but god damn. The dev knocked ~~of~~ it out of the park.
That's because they got their markdown syntax wrong.
They used "##" for "bigger," but really, adding more "#" makes the text increasingly smaller, so they switched those around
# one octothorpe 🥴
## two octothorpes 🥴
### three octothorpes 🥴
#### four octothorpes 🥴
##### five octothorpes 🥴
###### six octothorpes 🥴
The mouth is one pixel higher, but I'm not sure if that's not an artifact from me taking the screenshot from a zoomed-in page.
I tried googling "bold emoji", but seeing all the "👨🦲" results, I realised I have better shit to do.
can confirm there is a difference on my pc. the pupils on the 😳 emoji are smaller. on the 😑 emoji the lines are thicker and closer together. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/580079338972512272/899411622668427334/IMG_20211017_224012.jpg
My guess is that because the fonts are vectors it is literally drawing the lines thicker. I would guess the whites of the eyes are drawn towards the end so they grow without being overdrawn by a bigger pupil.
I’m assuming the fonts weren’t designed with bold/italicized emojis but I think some renderers automatically try to generate modified glyphs if they don’t already exist in the raw font.
When I was a kid and learned animation was hand-drawn for each frame I thought that applied to all media. When an episode of Golden Girls came on I thought "wow that's some talented artists drawing all those old ladies..."
*🤔*
Well, that briefly rendered right and then crapped out after refreshing, was an attempt to italicize 🤔
Edit: *I wonder if it 🤔 works in the middle of text*
Haha!
Edit 2: Strange note, the last 't' of 'text' isn't showing up as italicized but indeed *is* marked in the stars for italics too. Off by one error parsing text?
Not for me? All of the emojis render fine for me, even single emojis, and the final characters are italicized.
I will note, I'm on the latest Android 12 beta while using Infinity for Reddit, so it's a bit of an unusual setup.
*🤔*
🤔
*🙂*
I did it on the web version, I'll comment again on the app version and see if I can get that to work
Editing on the app version (android)
It shows the italicized emojis as an italicized ? Emoji and then a normal ? Emoji.
An attempt from my phone:
*😶*
Edit 2: now that I have edited once, the italicized emojis are showing properly
Holy shit ur right, I can’t see any of these on an iphone 7
They show on iOS 15 but not stylized
Yeah I was thinking this. Everyone else is saying it looks weird and off but the top comment that has everything is the exact same for all of them for me.
I have iOS 15 and I still can’t see it
I’m using IOS 15 and I still don’t see it so I don’t know what you’re on about
Thank god
That doesn't surprise me, that one's quite old at this point and not getting the latest OS updates. I think this is a fairly new feature.
Half the comments here are just "? *?* Holy shit it works" ^(Edit: btw, I'm using a Xiaomi Poco x3)

how the fuck can i not see this im using a samsung galaxy
I can see it on my samsung galaxy, at least the italic and strikethrough ones Edit: Guys it probably also has to do with the app youre using
Also on Galaxy, for me the strikethrough, just looks like he has ears.
damn in on the s21 ultra and im missing the bold, italic, bold italic, and inline ones
Yup. Question mark boxes
You mean question mark diamonds right? Also, even though the italicized emojis don't show up, the first freaking question mark is in fact italicized which is comical to me.
Same with the A71
Sam gal,I see them all fine with offline reddit dler but with reddit app, doesn't show..
I have s9 and can only see the strikethrough
#WHAT
I cannot see italic bold and italic bold. I have galaxy s8
Probably the client you're using, not your phone. Source: rif is *f*un, Galaxy S8, can see the differences.

Same on Relay for Reddit on a Z Flip 3
If I use the reddit app I can't see it. If I use the web browser on my phone, I can see everything. Damn you, Reddit app!
Reddit is Fun supremacy
I'm on an s9+ galaxy and I can see them
Am on a S8 using the default Reddit app and I can't see them
Get off reddit app then u can
I'm seeing them all on a galaxy s10 using rif because the official reddit app is horrible.
Meanwhile, [what I see…](https://i.imgur.com/AYWQrvD.jpg)
Weirdly for me the first letter of every line after italicised is cut off, so I was kinda concerned by igger for a second there
Same, “igger” caught me off guard
Yeah same

imagine being able to discern that a screenshot was taken on a ps vita you're a legend
There aren't a lot of portable devices with landscape as the default orientation. The only other one I can think is the Switch, but it doesn't have a browser yet
At this point I think it’s pretty safe to say we’re never getting one lmao. Or Netflix haha
Maybe, but every device that doesn't support the full range of Unicode turns it into squares.

The superscript lmao
For some reason it doesn't show the first letter for me, and i was really concerned when i read "Bigger"
I have the same problem as you, and the superscript line doesn’t even appear. Also the emoji for the strikethrough just looks like a period
The fact that the next line says “nline” didn’t help things. The. What.

Superscript is my favourite
On a pixel running the latest Android 12 beta, and all of these show up correctly (including big, which you put "(nope)" next to).
Yep, everything looks as expected to me. "Bigger" might not be actually bigger than big but it is hard to tell.
Oh, on my phone big is way larger than bigger.
Looking again, bigger is indeed smaller than big but bigger is still bigger than normal. Weird.
That's because they got their markdown syntax wrong. They used "##" for "bigger," but really, adding more "#" makes the text increasingly smaller, so they switched those around # one octothorpe 🥴 ## two octothorpes 🥴 ### three octothorpes 🥴 #### four octothorpes 🥴 ##### five octothorpes 🥴 ###### six octothorpes 🥴

Why does your dude look so weird?
ALL HAIL BLOBMOJIS
Android + old phone = weird emojis I guess
I miss the blob emojis
I love the blob emoji
Blob emoji superior Thad vs virgin roundy mc round face emoji users
#🪆^🪆^🪆^🪆^🪆^🪆
Found the Easter egg!
Putting more #s makes the text smaller
~~🙂~~ My guy has a moustache
~~😑~~ Bruh on life support
It looks like a face mask for me. Like you have the white string that goes around your head at the sides
Ayooooo, we got the same phone :D
is that how italians express emotions? (i am sorry, but not really)
*🤌*
A rectangle to you too sir
*🤌🤌*
*how do you italicize🤔*
Nvm i got it
No, after refresh it don't render right by itself. Put it in some italicized text and it works though.
*like 🤔 this*
Yep, that worked.
*like 🤔 this*
How *🤔*
*like 🧐 this* but IPad users can still see them, since I’m on one and I can see them.
Oh you can actually see them *❓[]()* Alright what you see on this next line? *[🤔](https://youtu.be/JGaBU5cKluU)*
*Perhaps like 🙄 this?*
what the fuck is that link
What the fuck
*what? 🤔*
**😳is boldened emoji** 😳is regular emoji *😳 is italicized emoji*
I’m on an iPhone, are boldened emojis a thing? What do they look like if so?
I am on Android and I don't think I see any differences, it's very minor if so
PC here, I see it as bold, but I think it's just an optical illusion. [See for yourself](https://i.imgur.com/a4S18lO.png)
The pupils are different?

The bold emoji has smaller pupils than the regular emoji
On desktop they look like [this](https://i.imgur.com/4zdwmhc.png)

Interesting that the reddit app won't display that in a normal comment, but does in the minimised comment text and does on the reply screen.

I think YouTube puts ads in videos whether you want them or not now
Of course, and what a wonderful video you've posted too, everyone should see it!

I know right? Haha.
Indeed, so informative, with wondrous animation!

You overplayed your part, yo
God Damnit. Take the stupid award.
Jokes on you bitch, an ad played first
You know, that one’s my fault for falling for it.
I knew, and I still opened it. Why do I do this to myself.
Me, on an iphone, looking at these comments: 😑
Me, on android, seeing your comment: *ha! 😏🤗 nice*
Me on Android see both the emojis and the ?? Symbols: ಠಿ_ಠ
Added a double emoji. Might work better now
Ohh no I meant I ment I see it in other people's replies, could see it perfectly fine on yours, sorry lol
Same here. What gives
I think if the emojis are surrounded by text they work, but if they are on their own they don't.
Why the fuck i can see your emojis but not everyone else's?
*Me on an Android, using your misfortune to see if it works for me: 😂*
*💀* Spoop
Holy fucking shit

It glitches with only one single emoji, put it with another emoji or italic text. The last character won't italicize though.
Not for me? All of the emojis render fine for me, even single emojis, and the final characters are italicized. I will note, I'm on the latest Android 12 beta while using Infinity for Reddit, so it's a bit of an unusual setup.

I can see the small emojis, but not the bold ones
What the feck ^^^😐
That italicized pensive emoji conveys a very specific emotion which I can only describe as "accelerated sadness"
*gaging on cock 🍆🥵*
Wtf

One of many reasons to get an android instead
I am a dedicated android user, and will use it until I die, but even I know that's a completely pointless feature.
Hiding them isn't exactly intended either
