Apple Color Emoji

In a previous post schappo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/localized-font-names.html I examined how well Browsers deal with language localized font names. My exploration, this time, concerns the number of localized names a font has. I decided upon a font that stands out from the crowd. A font that many will be aware of, namely, Apple Color Emoji. OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 has 33 system language localizations and I found that the Apple Color Emoji font has 16 unique language localizations, as in the table below.
