Why no blue eyes in emojis?

Simply wonder why there are many skin color options in emojis, but none for eyes! There is a big brown eye - period. Why can’t users have the option to change it to blue or green or gray or even hazel?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Recommending these Emojis

Apple is not the creator if these emojis. So, rather than recommending this deletion through Apple, you need to make a proposal for one to The Unicode ConsortiumGo Here: Submitting Emoji Proposals - Unicode.

Why to Submit This:

I'm sure many out there want this to be an option too. Question is: "Just how many people have actually made a proposal?" The Emoji Consortium will know nothing of your opinion, if you do not share it with them. The more they hear of this the more they will know what emojis to make in time to come.

Maybe Apple doesn’t create the emojis, but millions of iPhone users post emojis daily, & I don’t see why they couldn’t pass on ideas/requests from their customers. I frankly don’t see the difficulty in just making the eye emoji capable of changing color, like the fist emoji or hand emoji can change skin color. I realize that customizing faces with many choices of skin, hair, eye color, beards, glasses, etc. would be too unwieldy. I just want to turn that brown eye blue!
