This is the group responsible for the Emoji - it is there in the first line. Always has been the "Consortium" responsible for Emojio_O.

Not Apple, Google, Microsoft or any evil power like Qualcomm!:rolleyes:

FYI, my point was NOT that Apple created these emojis...

Anyone actually uses more than 30?. There should be an "extended emoji keyboard" and if we are really going to have to have them, can you make them at least large enough to distinguish in the keyboard?, some are a little hard to identify, let alone their cryptic representation...
 
New Emoji? I see Apple want to charge over the $2000 mark for the next phone..
 
People just see and don’t think. They also don’t know that emojis only occupy the very small percentages of the whole Unicode update every time.

Aha! Waffle! I've been waiting forever for that one.

No I haven't.

Well, actually, I have.

Well, not really, I mean...

Yes, I definitely think I've probably been waiting for that one.
 
Apple please allow us a feature in settings to uninstall all this bloatware since iOS 6 or launch a damn IOS pro / lite. we don't need crap like this.
 
I can’t wait for those “tiny” finger emoji. I’m going to wear that out on a few people...
 
I am not sure what I am missing, why do we need so many emojis.. so much as a sloth? Who will use a Sloth emoji?
we were very pleased and satisfied with colons and right brackets.
 
It's already happening in restaurants and cafes where you see a lot of people sitting together with their faces buried in their phones. The whole night goes by and no one said a word until it was time to leave, saddest thing I've ever seen.

Better than pretending to be interested.

Yes, but this isn't "unicodeconsortiumrumors.com" is it? And we know about it because Apple see fit to make this emoji nonsense news somehow. Many of us are irritated by this lack of new equipment, so we get to complain about it on our 5 years (and older) - not updated - production machines...
 
You can just type the word and the keyboard will give suggestions with the emoji to use.
It doesn’t have all synonyms though. So if you type in a word and no emoji shows up, does that mean there isn’t one or you didn’t type the right word?

Apple made this news?

Where?

Does Apple own and run MacRumors; I didn't know?
 
I think it’s more like this:

Random MR Forum poster: I don’t have anything relevant to say, but I like when people “like” me... it’s so validating to know I’m in a safe space :) Hmmm, what shall I post... something pithy and original... I know, “courage!” No, I just used that. Oh, I got it, “innovation!” Whoops, I used that one already too. Oh, I got it, “Tim Cook is taking our Macs and forcing us to buy real computers: iPads.” Oh no, I used that earlier today. Hmmm, what to post, what to post... oh, I got it, I’ll demonstrate my complete lack of knowledge about computers by complaining that the artist who draws emoji should be coding, finding bugs and working on the Mac Pro! Perfect! How clever is that? lols

Apple: Here are the latest emoji introduced by the Unicode Consortium. We can either support them, or let our users receive texts with small little squares whenever their friends on Android use them. Since I think our users would rather see which emoji their friends actually texted them instead of a small little square, we should have Anna down in graphics draw them up.

Random MR Forum poster: OMG!!! I can’t believe Apple has assigned all 35,000 of their engineers to draw emoji :mad: We’re never going to get that new feature I want right now... and those bugs will never be found—let alone fixed... and they’re NEVER going to release that Mac Pro that I’m never going to buy....

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!1!!1! What happened to my safe space?

Tim Cook needs to be fired! Apple can’t innovate anymore! Steve would never allow that! Where’s my new iMac? Apple has lost its way! iPhones are too expensive! Where’s my Mac Pro? Jony, make it thinner! Where’s my 5G? Apple Maps sucks! We need Scott Forstall back! Where are my ports? I want Aperture back! Where’s my 17” MBP? Bring back AirPort! These airpods look like Q-tips! Where’s my bigger battery? I need Mag Safe! Can’t innovate my ass! Angela, stop releasing watch bands! I hate this camera bump! Siri sucks! Why is Apple making a car, they should just buy Tesla! Where’s my SE2? Tim Cook only cares about being PC! Why is Apple making original content, they should just buy Netflix! Apple’s not green, the batteries are glued in! Where’s my under screen TouchID? Tim Cook is a bean counter, he only cares about profits! HomePod is overpriced! Where’s my AirPower? FaceID sucks! Cook is just an operations guy! Apple’s late to market again! Apple needs to buy Disney! The XR isn’t even HD! Where’s my iPad mini 5? The iPhone needs USB-C! Where’s my new Apple display? Angela, we hate your stupid coat! Where’s my headphone jack? Get rid of that stupid notch! The iPad is only for consuming content! Jony, get rid of that accent, and stop saying alumin-i-um... and grow some hair while you’re at it! You can’t do real work on an iPad! Apple lost the professional market! iPad needs a file system! Where’s your pipeline Tim? One more thing... The Apple TV remote sucks!



Had to call emergency, I almost passed out from laughing at this comment :D
I would add the fact, that Apple is failing in Asia because iPhones lack SD card slot!!!!!!!!11!!!!
 
We are literally regressing to hieroglyphics. Also, surely the effort to find the "avocado" emoji is now longer than the effort to write the word avocado in the first place? This is how civilisations collapse.

I like all these emojis, but someone needs to come up with a better system to sort through and find the one to use.

It's called writing the word instead.
 
So, we need emoji's for Chinese, black people, Indians, cafe con leche people, white people, Middle east people, aboriginals, creole, malay.......and so on.

Don't get me wrong, I am for inclusion of all races, but creating 1000's of emojis is silly.

Try writing "clover." Nothing. Yet there are two clover emojis.

Try writing "monkey." It gives you two random emojis to choose from, even though there 5 or so different monkey emojis.
