Notion removed decorative emoji symbols from its terms of service navigation page on May 1, 2026. The document previously used emoji icons (like 🌞, 🀝, πŸŽ’) before each link to different policy documents; the updated version lists the same policies and documents without emoji formatting. This is a formatting change that does not alter any contractual language, rights, obligations, or policies themselves.
