Personally the whole emoji thing is an unmitigated disaster. I'm okay with smileys and gestures but everything else is pointless
What everyone actually cares about — new emojis!
* Cracking face
* Left/Right thumb sign
* Monarch butterfly
* Pickle
* Lighthouse
* Meteor
* Eraser
* Net with handle
looking at the changes it makes me wonder:
- is there an usable font the cover all unicode ?
- if not is there really a point to include everything possible in unicode ?
- how many space is remaining for new alphabet and smileys ?
- how do they handle changes in scripts, for example if new proto-cuneiform or seal script symbols are discovered ?
Hey ChatGPT show me a seahorse emoji.
The internet needs a "tin foil hat" emoji, but two proposals have been rejected :(
