Where the 🧺 Basket emoji came from
Approved as part of Emoji 11.0, the basket has been on phones for years now — counting from its release, 8.
Same character every time — U+1F9FA 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.
Basket was approved as U+1F9FA 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.
