 Very cool. I geek out over symbols. 
So much so, that I signed up to the Unicode Consortium awhile back. 
So now I get a preview of the new emojis released each year. 
Coming soon to your mobile keyboard: ‘face with bags under eyes’, ‘splatter’, ‘shovel’, and ‘harp’. 
Seems on point for 2024. 😱 
 I would kind of geek out if you wrote articles on Nostr about why this or that emoji failed. There are some cute ones and they were denied. 
 
 The ‘Emoji Standard & Research Working Group’ receives the submissions, and there is a guideline they use. But noted, will look to write a little more on it. I know that there was a petition to submit Bitcoin as an emoji this year, but cannot find it in the submissions. Will look into it. 🙂 
 🫡 thank you for Nostr contributions
