Years after Twitter replaced the pistol emoji with a green and orange water gun, X decided to turn it back into a regular gun. Employee X announced the change in a post last week.

Emoji are universal in that they share common designations across platforms (U+1F52B is the water gun), which are decided by the Unicode Consortium. But it is up to each platform owner to decide how they will be visually represented. That’s how we got the Great Cheeseburger Emoji Disaster, which was resolved in November 2017.

You’ll only see the weapon if you’re looking at apparently on the way at some point.
