Where the ⏭ Next Track Button emoji came from
It arrived with the 0.7 release of the standard, which dates the next track button to 2014.
Same character every time — U+23ED 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.
Next Track Button was approved as U+23ED and shipped in Emoji 0.7 (2014). 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, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
