Lady, EVOLVED 
tfw u realize you might have to upgrade to the a·i edition of macOS because u have a hard dependency on Unicode 16
does apple update Unicode data for old, yet still supported, versions of macOS?
apparently this is just not documented Anywhere, Thanks
i would switch to a B·S·D if every B·S·D didn’t give vibes of being staffed entirely by missing stairs
maybe i need to get into illumos or smth
@Lady “missing stair” is a new term to me
@Lady My understanding is that the availability of new emoji is restricted to the updated OSes in no small part to encourage updates. I'm not sure if that applies to the rest of Unicode, but given that they're tied together pretty firmly now, probably?
@aschmitz that’s definitely true on phones, but it seems to be the case on desktop OS’s as well, especially as it seems APFS changes which filenames it considers valid depending on Unicode version, and i don’t see them upgrading APFS in a minor OS release
i don’t actually care about the emoji so much (they would be nice to have, don’t get me wrong), but there are some non‐emoji characters in Unicode 16 i’ve been waiting for for a while and would really like to have
what version of unicode is used for APFS, for example? the original specification says Unicode 9.0, but i can make files named “🥠” on my computer today
