The Same Unicode Identity Can Have Different Artwork
Unicode defines the encoded identity U+23EE, while the visible shape is produced by a font, emoji set, and shaping engine. Emoji platforms can redraw the same encoded character or sequence with different artwork, proportions, and color.
For identification, compare code points and sequence structure rather than expecting pixel-for-pixel consistency. Rendering can change while the underlying Unicode record stays the same.
