Where the 🪨 Rock emoji came from
It arrived with the 13.0 release of the standard, which dates the rock to 2020.
Same character every time — U+1FAA8 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.
Rock was approved as U+1FAA8 and shipped in Emoji 13.0 (2020). 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.
