Emojis are generally created by the Unicode Consortium, not Apple. Click here and file a proposal.


They're no longer accepting requests for new flag ones; these can only be added if they're for an entity with an ISO-3166 code, and due to limited unit capacity, very few subnational ones actually have been put in.


There's already a Latin Cross emoji which can be used to represent Christianity.

Apple does not make up the emojis you see. You will need to contact the Unicode Consortium to inquire or submit an emoji request. The device manufactures simply adopt the latest revisions that have been approved by this third party so they are the same across all devices. Without these standards, emojis sent from one device could show up as something completely different on another company's device.
