How to do an emoji request for iPhone?

There should be a cute pumpkin emoji that does not have scary Halloween jack-o-lantern face so I can send it after I call someone pumpkin. ❌ 🎃

I’m requesting a capybara emoji :)


Entirely wrong audience for these requests.


You’ll need to ask the Unicode emoji committee. Start here: How to request a new Emoji? - Apple Community


Capybara requests were declined in 2017 and 2020: https://unicode.org/emoji/emoji-proposals-status.html

Hi!

I think the pumpkin emoji we have is cute 🎃 But, if you really want to suggest another one, I second the suggestion made by Niel!


Hello and Welcome.


Unfortunately, this is the entirely wrong audience and the wrong place for these emoji requests.


Neither we (other users like you), nor the folks that work for Apple, can add new emojis to the Unicode Emoji Standard.


The Unicode Emoji Committee makes these decisions. They’re not here.


To submit a request for a different pumpkin to the Unicode Emoji Committee, use the links and the details previously provided in this thread.

This is a user to user only forum. Us all cannot make any emojis. And Apple doesn't make them either. The Unicode Consortium does. All cell phone manufacturers use the Unicode Consortium Emoji's which are approved.


It turns out the Pot Leaf Emoji was requested in 2021 and declined --> https://unicode.org/emoji/emoji-requests.html


You are certainly welcome to request such an emoji, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you --> https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html

I would have hoped you had read the thread. After that it would become apparent that Apple is not in charge of the emojis and only adopts the standards provided by a third party. You should have also found the link to request new emoji proposals at the Unicode Consortium. There is a wealth of information there including previous proposals and discussions about those proposals.

There needs to be a meerkat emoji! Me and my best friend are obsessed with meerkats and we always use the cat emoji, but we think there should be a real meerkat one!!


Entirely Wrong Audience.

First, you will need to read the 3 pages of information here. Once that is done you will realize that Apple is not in charge of making Emojis. You will also find a link where emoji requests can be made and even view previous request along with the reason why they were rejected. There is a lot of material there, but I have always found that you learn more from reading then you do writing.
