We’re talking about the emoji in Windows, which is the most popular desktop operating system on the planet. This might seem like we’re unfairly beating up on Microsoft here, but come on: Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the world, valued at over $2 trillion. From left to right: Apple, Google, and Microsoft’s “Ant” emoji.

And like the comment above states its not an Apple. One more: Microsoft’s ant emoji doesn’t even look like an ant. Windows 7 also just recently recieved Emoji support in an update that adds the Segoe UI Symbol font. And why does Microsoft’s emoji have a smile? Once again, Microsoft has gone out of its way to use a totally different facial expression, introducing confusion to people using emoji across different platforms. Microsoft’s emoji almost looks like a parody of Google’s, including a cartoonish image of a person and 1’s and 0’s in the background. Take a look at one random emoji-the “Male Technologist.” From left to right: Apple, Google, and Microsoft’s “Male Technologist” emoji. The problem isn’t just limited to that emoji, however.

That’s no surprise because this emoji dates back to Windows 8.
