Where the 🏚 Derelict House emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F3DA 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.
Derelict House was approved as U+1F3DA 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.
