Depends on the browser/os combo i think..
i.e.: firefox on my windows pc will show the emoji, on my macbook it won't.

Aren't emojis in unicode anyway?

Unicode yes, 👍 we have that now, but note the code, these are embedded images courtesy of forum code -- not plain text!

Does this really not show in Mac??? 👉

Like T3sl4co1! said, those (tapatalk emojis) are images. Unicode has some, too.

No. Some forums use images, or map the Unicode characters to specific images, so it depends on the forum. If Unicode emojis like 😲 are used, their visibility depends on the Unicode coverage of the font used. So, it does not really depend on the OS.

On my Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (two years old, so not "cutting edge") system, the salient tables on the Wikipedia Emoticons Unicode Block look like this:

Firefox sucks. Emoji have worked perfectly on Macs in Safari and Chrome for years now.

Ugh, Tapatalk. Trusting a third-party app with forum credentials and other stuff gives me the heeby-jeebies. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, no matter how cool their selection of emojis.

Oh, and it turns out they track you and sell your location data to a third-party data monetisation company:
