American technology giant Microsoft will launch its Fluent-style emoji on Windows 11 this week. According to The Verge, new optional updates for the operating system are rolling out, including many important bug fixes and new emojis that Microsoft previewed earlier this year.

Although this is a brand new style, it is not the 3D look that Microsoft had previously promised; the company chose 2D. The new emojis in Windows 11 include the return of Clippy, because Microsoft has replaced the standard paperclip emoji with its Clippy characters.

Emojis have also been redesigned to include bright and saturated colors, but lack the 3D aspects that make them popular. "The new emoji style is only available in Windows 11 and is 2D. We still provide various emojis for Windows 10 customers," Microsoft explained in a quiet update to its design blog in July.

The same blog post still points out that Microsoft “chooses 3D design instead of 2D, and chooses to animate most of our emojis.” It’s not clear whether users will see the amazing in Windows 11 shown earlier this year. Impressive 3D emoji. The lack of 3D may be related to Microsoft's technical limitations in the color font format used to display emoticons in Windows.

Apple uses bitmaps to render its emoji, while Microsoft uses a vector format, which is more extensible, and if the emoji is flatter, it has a file size advantage. It is still expected that 3D and animated versions of these Fluent emojis will appear in products such as Microsoft Teams, but if you want to use the new emoji in Windows, then you need to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft has made it clear that it will not plan to introduce this new emoji to Windows 10 according to The Verge. (ANI)
