The combinations are the work of a very talented team. (See https://jenniferdaniel.substack.com/p/introducing-emoji-kitc...)

Wait so someone at google added this to gBoard unofficially. We need someone to create an apple keyboard with this too.

Are they free?

The following makes it sound like these websites pirate the graphics, so that wouldn't work for a keyboard for the App Store.

>If you have an Android device I recommend downloading Gboard and giving it a whirl. If you don't have a phone running on Android … you could consider getting one lololol or trying it out on a number of unofficial websites (tsk tsk! I don't approve!!! :Face-with-Symbols-on-Mouth-emoji:)

Ok, I read her article but didn’t follow the links. The emoji kitchen is a google gBoard project, Jennifer works on the gBoard team and is part of the emoji kitchen team. All the other sites are just documenting (in fun ways) the work that the emoji kitchen team is doing. And apparently regular non-google people can submit combined emojis to the emoji kitchen to be added.

I guess it’s a question of who owns the copyright.

How does it work under the covers?

humans drew the pictures.

I searched everywhere - first, I thought AI style transfer, but it looked too clever.

I estimate 4.5 human-years of effort (1.5 years nonstop).

Such a disappointment. Great work though.

Disappointment?! It's amazing!
