Where the 🩹 Adhesive Bandage emoji came from
It arrived with the 12.0 release of the standard, which dates the adhesive bandage to 2019.
Same character every time — U+1FA79 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.
Adhesive Bandage was approved as U+1FA79 and shipped in Emoji 12.0 (2019). 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.
