Wow, unicode emojis are even more useless than I thought. I don't know why I expected them to all be the same.

I think with Apple you can change the skin color of them too? But maybe that's just the actual people only emoji

Nah the hands work too. The default is simpsons and then they run the gamut from whitey onwards, with white, of course, the first option after simpsons

That's part of Unicode. It's done with a colour tone character, a "combine this stuff" character, and then the character for the emoji in question.

Why would they all be the same?

There are many thousands of variations of letterforms.

The unicode people are too cheap to have artists so only the code that generates them is universal.

As long as every platform shows clapping, that's all they care about.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
They're clapping to emphasize. Yes it would be obnoxious. No, nobody really does it in real life

Clapping as you talked would make it so people can't hear your words. That's the opposite of emphasis. It sucks and I don't like it.

I think the twitter usage originated as a reference to protest chants, but pretty quickly it became subverted, eg ironically going 👏more👏female👏cops👏 about Kamala Harris

There's a clap chant in the latter half of this clip:
