Hm.

Emojipedia confusingly says:

Red Question Mark was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name "Black Question Mark Ornament" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

In fact Emoji 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 all called U+2753 "BLACK QUESTION MARK ORNAMENT" as Unicode did. In Emoji 4.0 through 13.0 (they jumped from 5.0 to 11.0 btw, to sync the version with Unicode) it was renamed to simply "question mark", and it wasn't until Emoji 13.1 in 2020 that it was finally renamed to "red question mark".

In the latest release of Unicode, 17.0.0, it remains "BLACK QUESTION MARK ORNAMENT".

So... this article is outdated, yes?

It might be outdated in other ways but it isn't wrong about U+2753 being BLACK QUESTION MARK ORNAMENT: the character is still called that in Unicode, and that remains an accurate description of its text presentation despite its emoji name being "red question mark" and its emoji presentation being in red.

emoji presentation: ❓

text presentation: ❓︎

you can force it to its text presentation by suffixing it with the text presentation selector U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 (VS15); to put the text presentation above i copy+pasted the output of python -c 'print("\u2753\uFE0E")'

Why not? I want all the Unicode characters on a single page, including combining and control characters.

<!doctype html><meta charset="utf-8"><body><pre></pre><script>
let s='';
for(let i=0;i<=0x10FFFF;i++)if(i<0xD800||i>0xDFFF)s+=String.fromCodePoint(i);
document.body.firstChild.textContent=s;
</script></body>

Take that Wikipedia.
