Heading out? Listen on the go to amaze your friends with emoji trivia!

Today, @shadychars.mastodon.social, author of "Face with Tears of Joy," talks about what emoji are doing in our messages.

We covered:

— The long history of emoji
— Why Unicode approves every new emoji
— Why some emoji use more data than others
— Why a tiny number of domain names include emoji
— Why “person with blond hair” has a loaded history

Did you know that new #Emoji can be proposed by anyone, simply by following some guidelines laid out by the #Unicode consortium? There's a time window each year where they accept proposals, and a select few might make it into future sets.

This year I turned one in: "Circuit Board", which I was surprised to find 1. didn't exist and 2. had not been proposed before (though CPU and Microchip have both been submitted and declined in the last 5 years)

You can read my proposal here:
storage.googleapis.com/greg-ke

and you can see the Unicode emoji proposal guidelines here:
unicode.org/emoji/proposals.ht

Anyway, the odds aren't great of getting accepted, but if it IS then you can say "hey! I know the guy who submitted that one!"

Attached are the sample images I drew up for the proposal - which, incidentally, are now Public Domain as well. Enjoy!

#askFedi

- Has anyone seen custom-moji of a #mecha around these parts?

- Is there a reliable, reasonable current source of custom-moji of mecha in different styles (am thinking of “Big O”, “Evangelion”, “Gundam” c 2000+, “Ghost in the Shell”)?
