@nprofile1q... If you’re apprehensive, consider it from the perspective of an engineer that cares about crafting details and observe how well the Imagineering folks did that in the parks. I find it inspiring in the same way as how SJ put fancy things around the original Mac team for them to appreciate.

@nprofile1q... The eggplant emoji was in the Japanese carrier SoftBank and KDDI emoji sets when it was added by Unicode and Apple.

In those two early renderings, it was skinny as it represented the variety of eggplant common in Japan. The “phallic” shape is therefore correct, much in the way that SWEET POTATO 🍠 should represent a Japanese variety and not the flavorless garnet yams common to American use.

The originals: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10132-emojidata.pdf

Genmoji sadly renders eggplants as Western aubergines.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Same problem with my Polestar 2 (same Swedish software despite the ignoramuses declaring “it’s Chinese, ban it!”).

The worst part is the car telling CarPlay it has an ICE engine and nobody at Volvo or Apple seems to care to fix that.
