Hey sorry for the confusion,

Some of the FAQ questions are geared towards the general public, check out our github page for more detailed development info: https://github.com/Ranks/emojione

Unicode has set a standard for all emoji sets to follow, but if you want to implement them on the web, native desktop display varies drastically depending on the users device, and in a lot of cases there is no support at all (Chrome on windows).

This is especially useful for sites that accept input from mobile devices, ensuring that any emoji inputted from a phone will display correctly on desktop. Twitter has something similar in place using their own proprietary emoji set.

We did forget to include Linux's variant in the homepage graphic, however it is included on our full comparison table (Symbola): http://www.emoji.codes/family
