U+1F4A9, aka the 'pile of poo' emoji, has gained somewhat of a legendary status in the modern society [1]. With the somewhat recent addition of skin tones in the Emoji Modifier Sequences, I think there is some small room to add more depth to the emoji by modulating it via the Bristol Scale [2]. This would produce 7 variants of the U+1F4A9 emoji, including existing (Which I believe is about Type 4 on the scale). Why? I think this would really benefit the medical profession, with a large uptick in e-doctor/text only conversations towards the medical profession.
