Request for a sad cowboy emoji on iPhone

please make a sad cowboy emoji, real cowboys have to do cowboy things and sometimes that includes being sad about what they've done, like putting there horse down. I was looking for the perfect emojis to express my mood, there was nothing better in my mind than a sad cowboy emoji, It would bring me great solace to see this put in to works

Apple does not come up with any of the emojis you see on the iPhone. Like all emojis they are approved by the Unicode Consortium and all device manufacturers simply adopt those latest standards. If that wasn't the case, you could send an emoji on one device and it would show up as something completely different on a phone from another manufacturer. Emoji's are not sent as pictures, they are simply representation of a character, just like any other character you type on your keyboard. You can make emoji requests with the Unicode Consortium here:

There are 2 technologies that Apple did create to use Emoji like characters that can be sent in Messages. These are not actually emojis, as they are sent as small pictures, so they are viewable on devices from other manufacturers.

  • The first one is called Memoji, where you can create characters with many different facial features and accessories such as hats.

  • The second one is called Genmoji and requires a newer device to use Apple Intelligence that creates characters based on your spoken description.
