> The Unicode Consortium is working to limit the number of new emoji added in each new version of the standard to stay "focused on what is useful" and reduce the amount of work that OS and app developers need to do to support new emoji every year.
That ship already sailed. I'll repeat my usual rant against emojis. The emojis to convey emotions are great and an useful addition to text-based communication, I like them. The emojis describing objects are useless at best and terrible at worse. The reality they describe is at best that of a few people living in something like San Francisco, at worse an imaginary world that's a grotesque approximation of our reality. Just look at the food emojis: https://emojipedia.org/food-drink/. It's like what people would eat in a TV series, not what most people actually eat most of the time in the real world.
