No, that is not what I asked. Please see my orginal post. I quoted cariacou and his comment of "in the new beta there's a feature "translate to emoticon". So, I asked where is this feature at. I have the iOS8 Beta and this feature isn't anywhere to be found.
In case you didn't notice, this has nothing at all to do with Apple (other than that Apple supports Unicode emoji characters in their devices).
Is there an emoticon for something whooshing over someone else's head?
✈️ maybe? Or #?
Gee, you're only 8 hours late pointing that out.
I'm rewriting it as "It's Amateur Hour at the Unicode Consortium", does that make you happy?
Since the article implied Apple might adopt these, I don't think it was that much of a stretch.
At least I can tell Austria from Australia.
Yeah I hope the whole Austr(al)ia thing was a joke, if not then you 'muricans seriously need to grab some school books and leave them Apple toys aside 
(that was the clever comment emoticon right?)
(that was the clever comment emoticon right?)Adopting a standard (and it's called a standard for a reason) is anything but amateurish. Now, if there are some sort of issues with the standard, that's fine, but that's unrelated to companies supporting the standard that has been standardized.
As for emoji and all that, what do people expect and what would be non-"amateurish"? Now, if the whole concept of emoji is that to someone, well, that's fine, but that's completely irrelevant to anything, simply that that someone doesn't care about it and that's really all.
