Anyone know if the ๐Ÿ“† or ๐Ÿ“… emojis allow customizing the date they show or is it inevitably always the 17th? (I guess it cannot be customized if the ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ•ฃ is any indicator ...) /u

wouln't that require an empty calendar emoji to "carry" modifying digit codepoints?

I'm aware my question is probably futile, yes, but this has been something that I kept wondering (given the frequent meetup announcements we are posting). I probably need to keep using the spiral_calendar_pad ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ and just type the date behind. Then again, I wonder what purpose ๐Ÿ“† and ๐Ÿ“… can be used for other than events incidentally on a 17th ... ๐Ÿค” /u

To me this looks like a 12.
I believe these are just indicators for a following date, not an indicator of the actual date. Even on the freezer bag I have is a similar symbol with a "23" on it. Which was a moment of confusion when I froze something on the 23rd and wrote that date on it.

It's a single Unicode codepoint (U+1F4C5), so nope. Other emoji are codified in a way that can be combined or modified (usually ZWJ to join multiple independent ones, or ligatures for modifiers) but it's not the case, sadly.

Even worst, the date fixed depends on the set of emoji designs used in your OS/platform, so you can't even use it for an event that takes place on July's 17th reliably.

Bad visual design, IMO. A completely appropriate question, though.

seems like you can't based on other replies, but since when can you modify emoji, the fu-

We could set up custom emojis for every date here. If you find me PNGs with up to 256kb I can upload them.

@paula Thank you, I am keeping it in mind, but right now I will make do with the spiral calendar + plain cyphers behind. /u

@WeAreFairphone
Most vendors use July 17 for both ๐Ÿ“… and ๐Ÿ“† emojis, originally chosen due to Apple's iCal announcement and adopted for World Emoji Day
