Doug Ewell:
"Most popularly requested," as a criterion for adding a character, is absolutely new to Unicode. Earlier I wrote privately to a Unicode officer about whether PERSON TAKING SELFIE and GIRL TWERKING and PERSON DUMPING ICE BUCKET OVER HEAD would be ephemeral enough, and got no reply. (What, you've forgotten the ice-bucket craze already? That's exactly why "most popular at the moment" wasn't supposed to be a criterion.)
There is much truth in this. I'll now leave the discussion, because it doesn't lead anywhere. Best regards, A. Z. _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
