The above information is incorrect.


To submit a request for a new emoji, you will need to contact the Unicode Emoji Committee.


For further information on submitting, click here: https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html


Once part of Unicode, the new emoji will be available across all platforms; not solely Apple.


There is no chance of seeing a newly-added gourd emoji arriving this fall (northern hemisphere), though. Standards committees and software developers working on new software releases just typically don’t work that fast.


For now, you’ll have to suffice with the fallen leaf 🍂, maple leaf 🍁, and other existing emoji, yes. including the jack-o-lantern 🎃.


And we’re other users and not folks that work for Apple, so nobody here can “pull strings” with Apple (not that that would even help, here), nor with the Unicode Emoji Committee.

thanks for the information! Sadly they aren’t taking emoji requests until April 2,2020. 😔. So I’ve set up a calendar reminder with the link you offered to begin my plain pumpkin campaign. I’m learning a lot from you all tonight - so thanks! I’ll keep using my 🎃 in hopes that the Great Pumpkin will notice how sincere I’ve been in advocating for a emoji pumpkin patch 😂
