Why is there no sad/empathetic/sympathetic smile emoji!?!? It's one of the ones I need the most, and after 10 years of Unicode emoji, with tons of additions trough the years, noone has yet added this most useful emoji!? Why!?

Aw bummer! My #emoji "circuit board" proposal was denied. Oh well, at least I tried :)

Dear Greg Kennedy,

Thank you for submitting an emoji proposal for Circuit Board. We appreciate all of the effort that went into the preparation.

Each year, the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee receives far more emoji proposals than the very limited number that can be encoded. We are sorry to inform you that your proposal was not among those selected to move forward.

As a small, volunteer-run nonprofit we can’t provide individualized feedback on each proposal. We understand this may come as a disappointment. Thank you again for taking the time to contribute to the Unicode Standard.

Respectfully,

I don't think this science communication resource gets enough love.

OpenMoji offers 4,000+ free, open source emojis (CC BY-SA 4.0), with categories for healthcare, climate, UI...

Challenge: find Greta Thunberg and a coffee house in Vienna. ☕

❣️ (Heart Exclamation) has become a go-to emoji for me. Strangely, I never stopped to think of its origin. Hermann Zapf, of course! It was among dozens of his 1978 Dingbats adopted into Unicode 1.0 in 1991. The block was even initially named after the typeface! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingbats_(Unicode_block)
