An wonderful submit to the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC2 WG2 mailing checklist sums up essential suggestions over not too long ago authorised emojis, together with a fierce denunciation of the (IMHO) wonderful “frowning pile of poo” emoji, which is seen as a slippery slope to a whole “a range of emotions to PILE OF POO.”
MICHAEL EVERSON:
This character is damaging to each ISO/IEC 10646 and the Unicode Standard. It is unhealthy sufficient
that the ESC got here up with it, nevertheless it beggars imagine that the UTC really authorised it. Organic
waste isn’t cute. The current PILE OF POO character was added for compatibility with Japanese
telco units. It is a pity that Apple adopted Softbank reasonably than KDDI in its reference glyph, since
a coil of canine grime with stink traces and flies is unquestionably the one correct semantic. The concept that our
committees would sanction additional cute graphic characters based mostly on this could embarrbad
completely everybody who votes sure on such an excrescence. Will now we have a CRYING PILE OF POO
subsequent? PILE OF POO WITH TONGUE STICKING OUT? PILE OF POO WITH QUESTION MARKS FOR
EYES? PILE OF POO WITH KARAOKE MIC? Will now we have to encode a impartial FACELESS PILE OF
POO? As an atypical person, I don’t need this sort of crap on my telephone. As a consultant of the
National Standards Authority of Ireland, I’ve to surprise what doable good might come of
encoding such a personality. Bullying, maybe? Requested change: Remove this character from
the PDAM and reject its encoding.
ANDREW WEST:
I am involved that this character will open the floodgates for an open-ended set of PILE OF POO
emoji with feelings, resembling CRYING PILE OF POO, PILE OF POO WITH LOOK OF TRIUMPH, PILE
OF POO SCREAMING IN FEAR, and so forth. Is there actually any want so as to add a variety of feelings to PILE OF
POO? I personally badume that altering PILE OF POO to a de facto SMILING PILE OF POO was
flawed, however including F|FROWNING PILE OF POO as a counterpart is even worse. If that is accepted
then there shall be no impartial, expressionless PILE OF POO, so a minimum of a PILE OF POO WITH NO
FACE could be required to be encoded to revive some stability. I like to recommend eradicating
FROWNING PILE OF POO pending additional research and public session on the necessity for
further PILE OF POO emoji.
