    Why in the world would you have “emojis” as part of Unicode anyway?

    We already have a way to have endless “emojis” without administrative stupidity, it’s called JPEG.

    If you need to show text as that, we’ve had smileys since 90s.

      Hmm, why do we need a corporation to be arbitter of the written language anyway ? If they want to use it, they should just use it.If they can’t because of some central authority then Unicode is is to be abolished and replace with a system where you can usev wherever squiggle that you want and nobody gets a second opinion. You just do it.
