11 — History
Where the 🌐 Globe With Meridians emoji came from
It arrived with the 1.0 release of the standard, which dates the globe with meridians to 2015.
Same character every time — U+1F310 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Globe With Meridians was approved as U+1F310 and shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🌐 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
