Usage notes

• The design and display of this pictogram varies by platform and emoji set. Most depict the ballot box as either blue, grey or of a blue-grey colour, and the ballot paper as white or light brown; the licensable emoji set JoyPixels depicts it as yellow. The paper is blank in the emoji sets used by Apple's iOS devices (used also by Telegram), Google's Noto Color Emoji set used on Android devices (including Sony, Huawei and Xiaomi) and Facebook. Microsoft's emoji set for their personal computers and JoyPixels display a check mark (✓) whilst Samsung shows an ex mark (✗). Twemoji, used by Twitter, Discord and Mastodon, and the emoji set of WhatsApp both show a checklist for candidates.
