Troons are liars, never trust them or believe that they did anything they claim to have done.
A normal man proposed the dinosaur emojis.

Here's the first publicly available Unicode proposal for dinosaur emoji proposal (dated March 21, 2016):
Note how the dinosaur looks in the PDF:

It looks a lot like the final emoji (Apple/Android):

Compare that to the troon's proposal (dated April 2, 2016; April is after March!):

The troon's emojis are just headshots, but the real emojis are full-body. There also isn't a triceratops emoji, which further suggests that the other proposal was the one actually adopted. The T-Rex also doesn't look like the actual T-Rex emoji except for the Android version. However, the original Android version looks closer to the Apple design, which makes me think that the Google employees listed on the troon's proposal later changed the Android design to be more similar to the troon's.

The
final proposal cites the troon's proposal, but has its own art and clearly wasn't adopted because it has 13 dinosaurs and the art for the T-Rex and Sauropod looks nothing like the actual emojis.
The proposal that looks closest to the actual emojis is Dominick Schwarz's. Feel free to keep using the dinosaur emojis, and if a troon calls you out for using "their" emoji, remind them they were made by a
CIS man.
