Why the variety of emoticons on the device are not coming when typing in PF?

The editor emoticons are fine. But device usually has additional emoticons.

I see some guys like NascentOxygen posting Welcome to PF emoticon which is not in editor window.
How is he doing that? Is it because of mentor privileges?

Didn't understand. I think you are trying to say that only mobile have the feature of emoticons available in them?

My mobile question is not relevant. What I am saying is that the emoticon NascentOxygen uses is not in the list. He is using the img tag to bring it in like any other external image.

Okay. I think you asked the mobile question as I typed device in first post or I am seen frequently around here.
Is my guess correct?

In keyboard, we have additional buttons. One can get a + sign in reply box by just typing instead of looking for that in editor options more symbols.

So if we have in device's keyboard that symbols that are not in editor options then why they are not appearing in reply box?

The web editor may not accept all of your devices symbols. Are they standard UTF-8 characters?

Related to Why Variety of Emoticons Not Coming on Device?

1. Why are there limited emoticons on my device?

The number of emoticons available on a device is determined by the operating system and the device's manufacturer. Some devices may have a limited selection of emoticons due to storage or compatibility issues.

2. Can I add more emoticons to my device?

It is possible to add more emoticons to your device by downloading third-party keyboard apps or emoji packs. However, these may not be compatible with all messaging apps or may require additional storage.

3. Why do some emoticons appear differently on different devices?

Emoticons are not standardized across all devices and platforms. This means that the same emoticon may appear differently on different devices, depending on the design and style chosen by the manufacturer.

4. How are emoticons selected for inclusion on a device?

The selection of emoticons on a device is determined by the device's manufacturer. They may choose to include popular or commonly used emoticons, or those that are culturally relevant to their target audience.

5. Can I request for specific emoticons to be added to my device?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to request for specific emoticons to be added to your device. The selection of emoticons is determined by the device's manufacturer and is usually not customizable.
