6 years ago Thx for the detailed feedback, and seriously awesome charts.
That's an interesting idea about providing both the face and body, letting vendors then decide. Logistically isn't as easy as it might seem and ultimately we have to force one specific design in the default set. Our resources are still pretty thin and we have to invest them toward the areas in highest demand. This is the first time we've had this specific request, and a clever idea. Most likely there won't be any action for now, but it's something we'll consider for future development. 🕺
Thank you Crissov!

Animals
Vendors disagree about how to display animal emojis that do not come in a pair of two, ANIMAL and ANIMAL FACE. For almost every solitary ANIMAL or ANIMAL FACE emoji you’ll find both, an example of a full-body glyph and an example of a head-only glyph. Emojitwo should offer users the choice between them by providing both views as pictures.
In the Opentype fonts, these would be accessed through (individual)
cv##or (collective)ss##features (or both). Other formats would require different techniques.and Crocodile 🐊are also sometimes shown as heads. All of these are used as Asian Zodiac signs.(^^^)just represented mouth and teeth (→ Jaws) and thus their picture was~~~/\\~~~as well. A font could automatically trigger the latter in a sequence like 🦈🏊 or 🦈🏄 (or 🏊🦈 or 🏄🦈) …____/\___\o/___.Activities
Several (team/competitive) sports emojis should also come with options. Some vendors display Basketball and Hoop 🏀 or Tennis Racquet and Ball 🎾 or Billiards 🎱 as just the ball, for instance.
