Since emojis are all scaled to the same sizes, I'm sure to confuse the beaver emoji with the chipmunk emoji. And chipmunks aren't the same as squirrels, but they seem to have the same emoji. Maybe I'll just avoid all of them to be safe.

Where is my Kidney emoji?

Not sure if you know the story about the gun emoji but that's to judges not exercising common sense and wanting to prosecute children for sending the gun emoji it was changed to a squirt gun by tech companies.
 
Where's the coronavirus looking emoji?? Surely something that permanently changed the world deserves its own emoji.
Covid likely didn’t change the world permanently or even close, lol. It’s been like 6 months. SIX!

Man, people cannot see more than what is right in front of them. Kind like the emoji hate, actually.

There will be many permanent shifts in behavior and attitudes which will cause fundemental changes in this world imo. They’ll be most apparent sometime in the future, in hindsight.

Not really. The 1918 flu killed 50M and basically no ones knows about it and it changed nothing for today. That’s about 100 years. Nothing is permanent except probably stupidity and overreacting.
 
Serious question: does anyone know if there’s a male symbol or a female symbol? Idk if they don’t exist or what the case is, but if they’re making a transgender one I’d assume the others are there somewhere, it’d be crazy to make an emoji for .1% of people before ones for the other 99%. I’ve looked for them though on several occasions where I wanted to use one of them, but I swear they aren’t there.

You must not have looked very hard...

Agree. Wouldn’t be surprised if masks become normal, and we start relying on person to person contact even less.
I’ve only been alive for 18 years, but 2020 has had the most change in regular daily activities that I’ve ever seen.
Life will never just “go back to normal” like everyone thinks.
Even if we create a vaccine, I still think people will be much more cautious going forward.

You know about it. We all know about it. You wouldn't use it as an easy example if nobody knew about it...

It's also the genesis of some of the global seasonal flus we have today. It's also driving a massive global health effort to track the flu, analyze and predict it's movements, and develop vaccines on a super industrial scale year after year driving a multi-billion dollar market.

Other than that, nothing.

And Covid-19 is not the flu.

These are fun, but I hope we have a new emoji picker in the works. The current “scroll forever” implementation is getting less and less user friendly with each addition.

Yes, the Male and Female symbols exist in the Emoji specs, don’t worry, you are not being left out...

Thank you! Someone else mentioned that as well recently. I don’t think you can access them from the emoji picker however, I think you just need to create a shortcut for the keyboard, a bit clunky, but better than nothing!

Agreed, but other than the category menu under the keyboard I can't see any other solution other than to stop adding emojis. I usually just type the word of the object and the emoji comes up in the predictive text.
