Question

I’m confused by this ^^^ what Jay said

for the code i did

Answer 6

it was one emoji: `\(\Huge{😵‍💫}\)`

Answer 7

\(\Huge{😵‍💫}\) see

Answer 8

I see two emoji in both

Answer 9

It’s an Apple-customed emoji

Answer 10

I think anyways

Answer 11

Ya thats because if you do `\(\Huge{😵‍💫}\)` it goes into 2 emojis instead of just
😵‍💫

Answer 12

\(\Huge{😵‍💫}\)

```
\(\Huge{😵‍💫}\)
```

Answer 13

I do see what Fort is saying though

Answer 14

well there's your problem, it probably works by the emoji being next to each-other, when they are enlarged, that's not how it works. (Each emoji gets it's own element, so they aren't technically next to each-other)

In other words, not a bug, working as intended, apple being dumb as usual for even allowing something out of spec like that because it wouldn't work on anything that's not apple anyway.

Answer 15

okay but how come bbcode can enlarge it not \(\LaTeX\)

Answer 16

BBCode surrounds the emoji completely, whereas \(\sf{\LaTeX}\) surrounds each part of the emoji in its own element

Answer 17

BBCode:
```
<b>😵‍💫</b>
```

Whereas

\(\sf{\LaTeX}\):
```
<b>😵</b><b>💫</b>
```

(That’s just in theory, likelihood is that bold for BBCode is differently styled than bold for \(\sf{LaTeX}\))
