There must be a Unicode geek here who can explain why the heart emojis include grey, pink, and light blue variants, but the circles and squares don’t?

@katemorley @Tattooed_Mummy Because the Unicode Consortium is mean when it comes to emojis :(

Folks worked for years to get the pink heart #emoji 🩷
For reasons I don’t quite understand even though I’ve read several explanations

I guess nobody pushed that hard for the circles
Pity. Seems like pink polka–dots would get some support
@katemorley
Easy fix. 😁

@katemorley unfortunately the hearts look like tofu to me
@katemorley Oooh interesting. @Edent something you might know?

Existing Emoji compatibility basically.
Without looking through all the docs, I suspect that the coloured circles already existed in Japanese phones - so were encoded "as-is".
The hearts are more modern - https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21075-heart-emoji-coverage.pdf
