随着时间的表情

Recently, I noticed that one of the emojis on iOS has changed between iOS updates. It was enough to make me curious about recent changes, and now I have all the diffs for emojis between iOS 13.0 and iOS 13.3. In the article below, I will explain how I collected the changes, how you can do the same and describe the significant differences in emojis between releases. I was never particularly interested in the Emoji phenomenon, so for me, this trip was informative. You may like it too.

[R ecently，我注意到，在iOS上的表情符号之一已iOS的更新之间变化。 这足以让我对最近的变化感到好奇，现在我拥有iOS 13.0和iOS 13.3之间的表情符号差异。 在下面的文章中，我将解释如何收集更改，如何进行更改以及描述不同版本之间表情符号的重大差异。 我对表情符号现象从未特别感兴趣，因此对我来说，这次旅行非常有益。 您可能也喜欢。

历史参考 (Historical reference)

According to Wikipedia, Emoji are ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and web pages. Emoji exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals. They are much like emoticons, but emoji are actual pictures instead of typographic. Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, “picture”) + moji (文字, “character”); the resemblance to the English words emotion and emoticon is purely coincidental.

根据Wikipedia的说法，表情符号是电子消息和网页中使用的表意文字和笑脸。 表情符号存在多种类型，包括面部表情，常见对象，天气的地点和类型以及动物。 它们很像表情符号，但表情符号是实际图片，而不是印刷图片。 表情符号最初的意思是象形文字，它来自日语e (絵，“图片”)+ moji (文字，“字符”)； 与英语单词情感和表情的相似之处纯属巧合。

From 2010 onward, some emoji character sets have been incorporated into Unicode, a standard system for indexing characters, which has allowed them to be standardised across different operating systems.

从2010年开始，一些表情符号字符集已被纳入Unicode(一种用于索引字符的标准系统)中，从而使它们可以在不同的操作系统之间进行标准化。

I recommend you to read the “The modern emoji” section on Wikipedia. There are a lot of interesting facts about the standard, like:

我建议您阅读Wikipedia上的“现代表情符号”部分。 关于该标准有很多有趣的事实，例如：

Some Apple emoji are very similar to the SoftBank standard, since SoftBank was the first Japanese network the iPhone launched on. For example, U+1F483 💃 DANCER is female on Apple and SoftBank standards but male or gender-neutral on others.

自从SoftBank是iPhone推出的第一个日本网络以来，某些Apple表情符号就非常类似于SoftBank标准。 例如，在Apple和SoftBank标准上，U + 1F483💃DANCER是女性，而在其他标准上，U + 1F483💃DANCER是男性或性别中立。

比较如何工作 (How does the comparison work)

It is tricky to convince iOS to tell you the truth about all the available emojis. To solve the problem, I took a shortcut and decided to use emojis from the Unicode standard. The current revision is UTS #51 Unicode Emoji, Version 12.1. There are some files with examples, and for testing purposes, emoji-test.txt looked like a complete set of all variants. So, I built a simple tool to generate images from all available emojis and compare them with a simple diff. You can read more about the process and check the implementation on GitHub - dive/emojis-over-time.

要说服iOS告诉您所有可用表情符号的真相是很难的。 为了解决该问题，我采取了一条捷径，并决定使用Unicode标准中的表情符号。 当前版本是UTS＃51 Unicode表情符号，版本12.1 。 有一些带有示例的文件 ，出于测试目的， emoji-test.txt看起来像是所有变体的完整集合。 因此，我构建了一个简单的工具，可以从所有可用的表情符号生成图像并将它们与简单的diff进行比较。 您可以阅读有关该过程的更多信息，并在GitHub- dive / emojis-over-time上查看其实现。

笔记 (Notes)

To avoid unnecessary noise, I use the following limitations for the comparison:

为了避免不必要的噪音，我将以下限制用于比较：

• Ignore all variations for skin tones (can be enabled in the tool);

  忽略肤色的所有变化(可以在工具中启用)；

• Skip all unqualified & minimally-qualified emojis from the standard (check the emoji-test.txt for explanation). Can be enabled in the tool as well.

  从标准中跳过所有不合格和最低要求的表情符号(请查看emoji-test.txt以获取解释)。 也可以在工具中启用。

比较方式 (Comparison)

As I said, I generated all emojis for iOS 13.0–13.3, removed all emojis without any changes and then build diffs for the remaining characters. All comparisons were made retrospectively, means that I compare iOS 13.0 with 13.1, 13.1 with 13.2, etc.

就像我说的那样，我生成了iOS 13.0–13.3的所有表情符号，删除了所有表情符号且未做任何更改，然后为其余字符构建了差异。 所有比较都是追溯进行的，这意味着我将iOS 13.0与13.1、13.1与13.2等进行了比较。

All images follow the same pattern:

所有图像都遵循相同的模式：

• The initial version is on the left side (e.g., for iOS 13.0 in the first example below);
  初始版本在左侧(例如，下面第一个示例中的iOS 13.0)；
• An updated version is in the middle (e.g., for iOS 13.1);
  中间是一个更新的版本(例如，对于iOS 13.1)；
• Diff on the right.
  右移。

iOS 13.0→13.1 (iOS 13.0 → 13.1)

抗锯齿 (Anti-aliasing)

The most obvious difference is the fact that they change a bit how they render the final images. It seems that they improved anti-aliasing to make image borders more contrast and visible on the screen (especially, on dark backgrounds. Maybe, it is just a pending improvement for the dark mode). Check these light borders on the diff image.

最明显的区别是它们稍微改变了渲染最终图像的方式。 似乎他们改进了抗锯齿功能，以使图像边框更具对比度，并在屏幕上可见(尤其是在深色背景上。也许，这只是对深色模式的待改进)。 检查差异图像上的这些浅色边框。

Also, pay attention to the glare in the eyes. For some reason, it was decided to change their shape from round to semicircle.

另外，请注意眼睛的眩光。 由于某种原因，决定将其形状从圆形更改为半圆形。

心的形状 (The shape of the heart)

The shape of the heart symbol was re-designed. It became more elongated in height, and they added a gradient.

心脏符号的形状已重新设计。 它的高度变得更细长，并且增加了渐变。

马来西亚国旗 (Malaysia flag)

Apple made a mistake in iOS 13.1, the flag of Malaysia was re-implemented with obvious errors (“Apple displays Malaysia flag emoji incorrectly on iOS 13.1 and 13.1.1”).

苹果在iOS 13.1中犯了一个错误，马来西亚的标志被重新实现，并带有明显的错误( “苹果在iOS 13.1和13.1.1上错误地显示了马来西亚标志表情符号” )。

美人鱼 (Mermaid)

This is my favourite change. The mermaid now holds a trident like a merman counterpart. Also, they changed a bit the shape of her hair.

这是我最喜欢的更改。 现在，人鱼像人鱼一样拥有三叉戟。 而且，它们改变了她的头发形状。

刺猬 (Hedgehog)

The baseline for the hedgehog was slightly lowered. Apparently, that it fits better into the text.

刺猬的基线略有降低。 显然，它更适合文本。

章鱼 (Octopus)

The octopus now has suckers on tentacles.

章鱼现在在触手上有吸盘。

乌贼 (Squid)

Previously, the squid emoji had some issues with the real-life, and The Monterey Bay Aquariums noticed it. Now it is fixed.

以前，鱿鱼表情符号在现实生活中存在一些问题， 蒙特利湾水族馆 注意到了这一点。 现在已修复。

And that’s all for iOS 13.1.

以上就是iOS 13.1的全部内容。

iOS 13.1→13.2 (iOS 13.1 → 13.2)

不分性别的时尚 (Gender-neutral fashion)

This is a new world to me and I was surprised by the diffs for iOS 13.2, but then I realised that it is somehow related to the gender. So, with iOS 13.2 all emojis without a specific gender in the description are gender-neutral. Let’s see how they look.

这对我来说是个新世界，我为iOS 13.2的差异感到惊讶，但后来我意识到这与性别有关。 因此，在iOS 13.2中，说明中没有特定性别的所有表情符号都是不带性别的。 让我们看看它们的外观。

Noticeable and frequent changes:

明显且频繁的更改：

• Haircuts were changed to the neutral style;
  发型改为中性风格。
• Colours are more indifferent to avoid associations;
  颜色更无动于衷，可以避免联想。
• Everyone began to wear clothes, and there is no more naked torso.
  每个人都开始穿衣服，再也没有赤裸的躯干了。

P.S. Check the “Unicode Brings Forward Gender Neutral Timeline” blog post from Emojipedia if you want to know more.

PS如果您想了解更多信息，请查看Emojipedia的“ Unicode推动性别中立时间线”博客文章。

P.P.S. As before, iOS 13.1 emoji is on the left, iOS 13.2 in the middle, the diff is on the right side.

PPS和以前一样，iOS 13.1表情符号在左侧，iOS 13.2在中间，差异在右侧。

马来西亚国旗 (Malaysia flag)

The flag of Malaysia now correctly displays a red stripe.

马来西亚国旗现在可以正确显示红色条纹。

耳 (Ear)

The ear emoji has been re-designed to appear more like the ear.

耳表情符号已经过重新设计，看起来更像耳朵。

头发的颜色 (Hair colour)

Blond hair now has realistic colour.

金发现在具有逼真的颜色。

There are no changes in emojis between iOS 13.2 and iOS 13.3 releases. So, our journey ends here.

iOS 13.2和iOS 13.3版本之间的表情符号没有变化。 因此，我们的旅程到此结束。

There is no practical benefit in the article, just my curiosity and desire to know more about the world around me. Anyway, I am surprised that companies like Apple pay a lot of attention to the Emoji world; also, I am impressed by the number of details in emojis and how they develop over time. Will follow the topic as a hobby.

这篇文章没有任何实际的好处，只有我的好奇心和渴望更多地了解我周围的世界。 无论如何，令我惊讶的是，像Apple这样的公司对Emoji表情世界给予了极大关注。 同样，表情符号中的许多细节以及它们随着时间的发展给我留下了深刻的印象。 将按照该主题作为爱好。
