No, people are easily offended so I imagine this emoji would be a problem for a lot of people

It doesn't really affect me but I'm absolutely livid that Apple and its 1 employee is spending all their time working on emojis now.
What?? You mean you haven't been waiting eagerly waiting for the coconut or pretzel??
Good question, do they have a God emoji?

So why do we need more EMOJIS?
I really have a hard time going beyond a smily face or two.
Need more middle fingers. Just for these articles.
I'm not sure how real it is but I heard something about an earpiece that will translate languages for the person using it in real time. Both parties wear it and they can talk. I'd have to find it though. If true, this would change the world.

Is this organization sucking down tax dollars from somewhere? I sure hope not. If not, then emojy away... who the @#$% cares? But if they are, then that is an inexcusable waste of resources.
I'm still waiting for somebody to link me to a keynote where more than two or three sentences were dedicated to emoji...

But... but... tomatoes!

Yeah, those illiterate and uneducated ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, and pretty much every civilization to rise in Asia...
On a more modern note, dismissing emotional context shorthand in personal text conversation seems pretty uneducated to me.
It's hilarious how my generation is going retro. Despite being able to talk to people in real-time almost anywhere in the world, my generation brought back texts. Now, we going even further by bringing back hieroglyphics.
I love emoji. The more the better. But good lord do we need a way to search in them rather than scrolling through and trying to find the right one.
I'm actually 34 lol. Maybe that's old now, I don't even know or care anymore. 34 isn't old, but when you hear high teens call you "sir".. which is respectful, but makes you realize, everyone thinks your old now. lol
Well, we can skip the iOS 11 portion of next year's keynote, the new feature has been leaked.
And all I want is a Scotland flag
Debated this on Twitter with someone from the Unicode Consortium and arrogant doesn't begin to explain how obnoxious he was.
But - murcans - they don't even understand their own constitutional issues so we've no hope trying to make it clear why 65m people live in counties with no emoji flag.
They have arbitrary and indefensible rules and no independent oversight. The excuse for no ENG, NIR, SCO and WAL emoji is because we are considered sub divisions of the UK. Yet the Isle of Man gets one. Norfolk f-n Island gets one. Sub divisions of the UK and Australia respectively.
Appreciate it seems like I am bothered but it's more the rules is rules is rules nonsense and then they don't even stick to them and/or make arbitrary exceptions.
Very difficult to respect an organisation like that.
It's called a "babel fish."
And remember,
"The purpose of the president of the galaxy is not to exercise power, it is to distract attention from the people who are really exercising power. "
Now you know why presidents get elected.
Boy two answers in one thread.
Let's please restore emojis to goofy yellow balls of emotional expressions, this is getting out of hand :-/
