Oops, missed that part, thanks. So UTR51 does acknowledge the existence of 
non-emoji emoticons and short names inside a pair of colons, but (implicitly) 
puts their standardization outside the scope of Unicode. There is probably more 
diversity among them than there was among single-codepoint emojis used by 
Japanese telcos. Still, a file like 
<http://unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/EmojiSources.txt> *could* be produced 
for character sequences that map to emojis.

Btw., the Input section didn’t change in the current draft.
