So for those confused about the emoji being different. First this is a change to the X/Twitter platform, so it's only viewable on their website, for now, until then anything outside of there will be replaced your phone manufacture and that depends on the phone. Unicode is the code behind the emoji. That code is changeable by manufactures of devices, so a Google pixel and Samsung galaxy have different emoji, same with windows, iPhone, Linux etc. This is a form of censorship from Google and the likes because "guns bad". But not specific to this post. Find an old phone that hasn't been updated but can get on Twitter and boom the gun emoji is there,(haven't tried this but in theory that is how it would work) apple swapped the gun emoji for a watergun back in like 2016 with IOS 10 and everyone else followed soon after.
