There was a subsequent update by OMA in 2006, but it didn’t change any pictogram. > Reading through section 7 Pictogram Set, it’s obvious that WAP pictograms > have been unified with Japanese (i-mode) emojis upon their encoding in > Unicode 6+.

Would that suffice as a reason for adding them? - animal/beetle – unless same as animal/ladybird 🐞 - emotion/shakenHeart – unless beating heart 💓 is appropriate - emotion/shine – Sparkles ✨ may or may not be appropriate - map/park – maybe Fountain ⛲️, not obvious - map/zoo – perhaps any non-pet animal - music/rest – is that what 〽️ or 〰️ means? - sport/scuba
