> We mapped almost 1:1 to SoftBank’s set, though Apple chose to omit a few of the more risqué ones.
Which are these risqué emojis mentioned here? I don't think I have ever seen any that are even slightly graphic, which is probably why all the emoji slang conventions have spread like fire (Aubergine, Peach, etc.)

long eggplant and a smaller Pinching Hand emoji were probably the first to go

If the author is reading this, the hyperlink to the book in the first paragraph is broken. Looks like it's attempting to direct you to an absolute url that was meant to be relative.

There is still no walnut emoji. Blonde-haired, black-skinned pregnant man? Yes. Walnut? No.

I love the pregnant man emoji, I use it all the time after a big meal
By the way, Walnut Creek is less than 100 miles from Cupertino.
I love walnuts.

Gotta love websites that hijack basic browser functions, in this case forcing smooth scroll on.

Seems to be some sort of design agency or similar, it's basically internet-law at this point that those always fuck with the scroll movements of your browser, for some reason.

Also no thief emoji or pirate emoji. Can someone enlighten me why we don't have it?

I was looking for a pirate emoji like 5 minutes ago. I'm sure it's not the first time but I'm super surprised that still isn't in there. Seems so obvious.

Simply because nobody has successfully pitched the Unicode group to add one.
Anyone can pitch new emoji, they just have to go through the fairly easy but strict formal process.

Alex Schmidt, a humor writer (formerly of Cracked and others) did this process for the bison emoji. I enjoyed his “miniseries” about it: https://www.bisonemojipodcast.com/

does the reverse notebooklm exist yet that turns podcasts into longform journalism?

Not that I know of. And I generally prefer written pieces to podcasts :).
What’s next, a cowboy emoji? A ninja emoji? But seriously, as much as I like emojis, I kind of feel like they should stick to emotions. Maybe other intangible things. They’re hard to convey verbally (and succinctly), simple concrete nouns are good for a bit of fun and for UI icons, but really not very useful if we’re being honest. Unless you’re texting with a lizard, or my lazy elementary-school niece who shouldn’t really have a phone anyway…

Or you're texting with people whose native language uses a logographic system.

still no Guillotine Emoji either, although not for a lack of trying.

Interesting tidbit:
> Emoji support required iPhone OS 2.2 and a SoftBank SIM card.
What exactly do you think the "GenAI" trained on?
