Hi Jennifer! I would love help getting my 3 emojis selected! Lighthouse, Barn and Dragonfly. My proposal for the lighthouse emoji follows your formula precisely. I hope you can assist in making this a treasured symbol of hope for future emoji lovers. Thank you! 🙏 -Colleen

I was reading this with the newbie intention of submitting a traffic cone request. 🤣 Thank you.

I really hope at least ONE of my proposals get accepted, but then again, I really don’t know what me staying up too late till 5 in the morning is writing… Thanks for the post! 😀

In my opinion, a lot of emojis were added that were already representable, including all the variants of existing emojis. Although I mostly blame the tech monopolies for this.

Most variants of existing emoji are really just combinations of existing emoji joined together, not discrete emoji in their own right. E.g., a medium skin-tone hand-wave emoji is really just "Hand Wave" + "Skin Tone 3" (the plus sign being a special "zero width joiner" character).

Something you may find interesting is that the proposals for all newly added emoji are all publicly viewable, so if you see an emoji you find redundant, you can find out what the justification was that got it selected.
