Emoji are part of an international standard known as Unicode, and Unicode is implemented by many vendors.


Here is the available side-eye emoji: 😒


If that is insufficient, submit a proposal to the Unicode Emoji committee: https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html

Do you suppose if I asked the Unicode Consortium to get rid of all emojis, they's listen?


You could flag that to the consortium. They like new flags. 😉


But I think they already know emoji are a source of trouble, except for their use as a mechanism to encourage upgrades, and also as a test of character- and text-parsing code.


Parsing code? Swift will (correctly) return true 🤔 for the following range test, for instance:

("0"..."9").contains("1️⃣")


Which initially got the topic-appropriate 😒 side eye scowl, and then the 🫣 duality from me, as that particular emoji decomposes into 1. Lots and lots of other source code around won’t correctly decompose that 1️⃣, and won’t deal correctly with Unicode more generally. 😒
