Where the 🌪 Tornado emoji came from
Approved as part of Emoji 0.7, the tornado has been on phones for years now — counting from its release, 12.
Same character every time — U+1F32A 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.
Tornado was approved as U+1F32A and shipped in Emoji 0.7 (2014). 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, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
