Emoji Suggestion

I was wanting to know why are there all other professional emojis like jobs as and hobbies, but there is not the military? Such as army soldiers, airforce, marines, etc.... where are tanks, fighter jets, or anything that represents people the fight for their country?

It should be noted that any and all third party emoji packets will not work for other users unless they have also purchased (if not free) and installed them.


This why the Unicode Consortium has sole control over emojis. They dictate what gets added, and the Unicode position they are required to be assigned to. That's what makes emojis work across all OS's. The main emoji font for each OS has all approved emojis in the exact same positions. You use a baseball emoji on your Mac, and Windows, Android and all other users see a baseball in your text, email, etc.

😕 beats me 😝

Apparently some sort of 'improvement' in how Messages work down deep in the app - Android seems to tout the 'improvement' as well

Probably proprietary wouldn't ya think?
I just 'installed' some sticker thingy on my Android and cannot figger it out! Cannot even find it to delete it from the phone (which may be why I can't see how to use it!)
