Where the 🖍 Crayon emoji came from
It arrived with the 0.7 release of the standard, which dates the crayon to 2014.
Same character every time — U+1F58D 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.
Crayon was approved as U+1F58D 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.
