[doublepost=1527864082][/doublepost]Seems like toilet roll and leg emoji will be useful.
Can we please put disclaimers in these articles stating that Apple is adopting the Unicode standard in order to prevent the chicken littles from crying about "Apple wasting their time with emojis" when its not even Apple creating them, they're just simply adopting them (which is actually very important).

Eyeroll has been in there for ages. It's in the bottom row of faces next to the long nose guy. (This one: )
EDIT: Well I tried to show you which emoji is the eye roll but it displays as blank in the forum :/

I was so happy to find this:

I can't stand emoji. In fact I find it infuriating when : ) auto-corrects to some overpaid graphic designers idea of a smiley face. (Such as on this website if you don't put a space between)
Just stop. Now.

I want a "filtered emojis" option on my devices where I can hide all the emojis I'll never use (with an option to unhide if I can't find something within my preferred emojis). I know we have "recently used" but that's not what I'm talking about. There are just some emojis that I will never, ever use (like all the flags, Chinese characters, and politically-correct family units) that I would prefer to hide.
Please explain why you’re pointing the finger at Apple. Emojis are adopted by the Unicode Consortium, of which Apple is just one member. I’m not hearing anyone say the Oracle is too preoccupied with emojis. Maybe more blame should rest with, oh, Emojipedia, which is a full voting member. Or Huawei, who’s so interested in them that they copied Apple’s animoji. Not the kind of comment I’d expect from a moderator.
Well done!
That gun emoji debacle had to be the dumbest thing of all time.
OH BOY!!!! YES!!! FINALLY NEW EMOJI. It feels like it's been at LEAST a few months since I got some new ones!!!!11!!11!!1!!!1
This isn't about something coming out or someone getting something, this is just what's being proposed/discussed for the next Unicode standard update.
You're implying we won't see these emojis. Come on man, of course we will.
[doublepost=1527879768][/doublepost]
YEAH MAN!@@@!!! They're really pumping these out!!!11!!
Why, were you worried you might accidentally have a bit of fun if you left it enabled?
I wasn't implying anything about that, just saying it's not what this article is about (and speaking of actually seeing these, it won't be anything even close to a couple of months before any of these emojis might even make an appearance, given that it would still be sometime into 2019 before any of them are even approved to be part of the Unicode standard).

Yup, every June the Unicode consortium adds new emoji, and in September Apple becomes compliant with the standard.
If Apple didn’t update, you wouldn’t be able to receive the new emoji your friends with Android might send you. And posters here at MacRumors would complain that Apple can’t even update emoji on time (“since Jobs died” / “under Tim Cook” snark semi-optional).
Apple is the 800 lb gorilla. If Apple wanted to curb the proliferation of emojis, they could do it. The truth is, unless they publish a paper explaining how they were against increasing the number of emojis, they're all for it. Point me to the OracleRumors forum, and I'll express my displeasure with the preoccupation of emojis there.
Yeah, Apple is just a bit player in the larger emoji scheme of things.
Pardon us but this is ridiculous. Those poor sheep like Facebook and Google and Netflix and Microsoft and IBM, those penny-ante players, those poor bit-part actors reluctantly going along with whatever the Big Bad Boss Apple wants! You must’ve been in the meetings.Apple is the 800 lb gorilla. If Apple wanted to curb the proliferation of emojis, they could do it.

Apple: “We want more emoji!!”
The rest of the emoji-designing community: “Nooooo!!! Don’t make us!!”
Apple: “Yes! And you’ll like it!! We don’t care what you say!!”
The rest of the emoji-designing community: “AAAUGH!!!!”
Lmao!
Or are you saying that Apple should actively resist the groups adding of Emoji?
Or are you repeating the absurd idea that Apple, Inc. is somehow unable to participate in the Unicode Consortium and simultaneously do anything else?
Or are you saying that you’re somehow drawn to using emoji against your will?
Or is there some other reason you’re blaming Apple about a few more keyboard symbols you can safely ignore?
Finally I can send all the flamingo, abacus, and, uhhh…coconut bomb (?) emojis that I've always really needed!
If you type a message and push the emoji button, it will highlight words in golden text and when you tap on them it will give you options to replace words with emoji. This in no way saves time when writing a message as the original short set of emoji did, but neither does a search interface.
Yeah, no, I wasn't thinking a search UI. I was thinking something like it shows you a grid of ~24 emoji, and when you tap it, it gives you a new grid of emoji related to the first one. I figure you do it twice and you reach the one you actually want, and then maybe you swipe on it or something to actually add it.
Oh! It could be great for when you want to be silly and add a whole string of related emoji! Talking about a party and just tap the first party emoji and then it gives you a whole grid of party emojis!
I like this idea. Do people like this idea? Would people pay for it*? Should I develop it?
*I'd do it for free on literally any other platform, but Apple hates free apps and punishes developers for making them with an annual $99 fee.
Not Apple. The Unicode Consortium. One working group in the consortium keeps approving the addition of new emoji to Unicode, and Apple and every other computer maker then has to go implement them. The anger / frustration / annoyance directed at Apple (over this matter) is entirely misplaced.
I might be misunderstanding your request, but after reading the article, I thought it was extremely clear that it's the Unicode Consortium that is proposing these. I'm not sure how anyone could have read that article (or the one last year, or the one the year before, etc.) and still come away with the idea that Apple is behind all this. The problem isn't the lack of a proper disclaimer in the article. The problem is people only read the headline and then jump right into the conversation and are almost completely ignorant about the topic being discussed. It's a pandemic on these forums.
