How emojis are updated ?

VS-KR

Hi that's an interesting question to me because I have a new facelift of emojis now without receiving a FOTA update for the phone (still .171) ...

Are they managed/stored by Google Play services ? In the core of Android and then enabled remotely ?

Or it's simply Gboard ? I doubt because emojis are independent of the keyboard, they are unicode characters that are part of the operating system itself.

I've already noticed that some emojis appear discreetly 😅
