Where the 🦂 Scorpion emoji came from
It arrived with the 1.0 release of the standard, which dates the scorpion to 2015.
Same character every time — U+1F982 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.
Scorpion was approved as U+1F982 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.
