No... if you want to see those things included in the emoji character set, go talk to the unicode consortium. They control the character set, not Apple.

Yes, we got that part from, Yeah we need poop emojis ... NOT. The following line was unnecessary.


But anywho, per the above, you'll have to submit a request to the Unicode Consortium. However, I wouldn't count on ever seeing one. They routinely reject emoji requests that cover such items. Per this page of selection factors:

Notice under exclusions, deities is one that you will never see. By association to a deity, that likely means a Bible will fall under the same exclusion. But, who knows? Never say never.

This might be of some help to you.

As far as I know, we live in a country that still has a large Christian population. I’m guessing that a lot of those people use smartphones, and send texts. I’m guessing that many of those people wouldn’t mind having a Bible emoji at their disposal. That however, doesn’t mean that “we need“ them, but I’m guessing again, that many people would think it would be nice to have one.


We must need poop emojis, though, because that one does exist.
