Where the 🥯 Bagel emoji came from
When it was approved, which release it landed in, and how long phones have had it.
Same character every time — U+1F96F 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.
Bagel was approved as U+1F96F and shipped in Emoji 11.0 (2018). 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.
