And yet UTC devotes lots of effort (with an entire subcommittee) to encode more emoji as characters, but no effort toward any preferred longer term solution not based on characters.

Thinking about this further, could the technique be used to solve the requirements of section 8 Longer Term Solutions of http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/tr51-2.html ? Both colour pixel map and colour OpenType vector font solutions would be possible. Colour voxel map and colour vector 3d solids solutions are worth thinking about too as fun coding thought experiments that could possibly lead to useful practical results.
