The emojis of today are different from those of the past. Today's trend is detail and striving for the greatest possible realism, when emoji no longer represent broader concepts. Google is trying to counter this trend with its new open-source variable font Noto Emoji. It aims to make emoticons "more flexible to represent the idea of something instead of what's specifically in front of you." E.g. today, the dance emoji represents only one form of dance at the expense of other types.
