On my super out of date mac, Allo renders an unrecognized emoji as U+25A1 WHITE SQUARE, not U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER as it should. Anyone know if this is Mac's fault, Chrome's, or Allo's? (/cc @FakeUnicode)pic.twitter.com/DdTMjoFJ7L

My OS is more than a year old
maybe? I mean, we have a lot of codepoints whose values are known but have no assigned meaning
Maybe it depends on how the implementor reads the spec
Plain white square is still hella wrong though
(This is how virtually all ZWJ female emojis render for me >_<) Shrug is fun since it's one of the rare few that doesn't default to male, so it never renders at all.

Unsupported glyphs ("tofu") should be shown as plain white boxes. Sometimes with hex, or X, or ?, or as plain ?. These are valid unicode codepoints or sequences with no font support. Invalid code point references or byte sequences (not tofu) become � REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.

So is that "1 inside a square" just how Mac deals with the .notdef glyph? Any idea why the ZWJ is being rendered?
