I discussed offline with font experts (Dominik in particular) and they
confirmed that removal of -webkit-pictograph would provide ok-looking

font-family: emoji, and we're looking into finding someone to do that,
but that doesn't have to block this intent.
LGTM1 to remove -webkit-pictograph now without a deprecation period.

The 0.0028% number is low, but I wonder what the effect will be
on the sites that use webkit-pictograph today. Will they get
another font containing the same glyphs, or is there a risk a
symbol won't show at all?
If they "just" gets a differently looking font, then the risk is
even smaller.

Hi, in general when you have a character in a page, browsers will
do their best to select a glyph for that characters, trying
available fonts, with the choice guided by the list specified in
font-family. So I believe (font expert please correct me if I'm
wrong) removing a generic font family should just affect the
choice, not the visibility of the symbol.
Moreover, quoting the initial message of this thread:

- Apple Color Emoji on macOS (and iOS/WebKit)
- Segoe UI Symbol on Windows
- Times New Roman on Linux
- Noto Color Emoji on ChromeOS
- This feature is not implemented on Android.
So first this change won't affect Android. Moreover, I suspect we
have more fonts with good emoji coverage these days, compared to
when this was implemented 10 years ago (I'm not sure "Times New
Roman" is really helpful or the best choice on Linux for example).
Finally, as an alternative (and maybe replying to Yoav) we could
in parallel implement "font-family: emoji" as a replacement
(keeping the same preference on Desktop and maybe clever selection
on Android) and deprecate -webkit-pictograph (remapping it to
"emoji" in the meantime). This would be similar to what was done
for "system-ui" here:

And we could also do the same in WebKit:

What do you think?
