Why doesn't Apple have a pirate emoji with a little eyepatch yet?

It would be extremely useful and convienent to have a pirate emoji, when I'm feeling piratey or otherwise like a rascal, to have a pirate emoji so whomever I am speaking with understands me.


Thanks.

iPhone 6s

Apple does not determine which emojis are available. It only makes images for the available ones based on a list published by the Unicode Consortium.


Even if Apple added a particular emoji, if no other device knew what it was, then they would not be able to see it.


You can suggest Emojis to the Unicode consortium here:
