Well that may once have been the case, but certainly isn't any longer with respect to emoji, especially emoji representing food and drink. I suggest Emma reads Unicode Technical Report 51 http://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ especially section 1.2 Encoding Considerations and Annex C Selection Factors, then start a petition to the Unicode Consortium on www.change.org, and when she has 10,000 signatures make a formal request to the UTC. Petitions don't guarantee acceptance, but widely-petitioned emoji such as taco, cheese wedge, paella and whisky tumbler have been successful. Andrew
