11 — History
Where the 📵 No Mobile Phones emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F4F5 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.
No Mobile Phones was approved as U+1F4F5 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.
