istartedsomething let me know that, thanks to the update 2729094, finally Microsoft added the japanese emoji in Windows 7!!!
What are the emoji? It is a set of smileys and symbols very popular in japanese messages. It is gaining popularity in western countries as the iPhone made simple to use them.
Once installed the update, go to the test page to check if you can see them (not all are supported).
I was waiting this from years!
Shame on Microsoft to describe the update as “Install this to solve problems in Windows”.
I wonder if Microsoft has ever see how Apple behaves. Ma in Microsoft hanno mai visto come fa Apple? Why write solve problems, while a new feature is added??? Why not write “new emoji feature added”???
In this way it looks like Windows has a lot of problems, every month it requires a dozen of patches to fix them…
