  Because it's encoding writing systems, not graphics systems. There is a case for Emoji, but frankly of you want to change colours of a font then let the metadata of the document do it.

  Add modifiers for proportions and it'll turn Unicode plaintext into a general-purpose drawing language.

      I think Unicode has already enough features to address any (x,y) point with some precision (think Zalgo) - now add colors and scales, and soon someone will start encoding pictures in plaintext (and I don't mean ASCII art)...
