Agree with you 100% on textile care symbols.
Emoji were certainly written language prior to unicode, but their expansion is unquestionably political since there is no well-defined "natural expression" of emoji that don't exist yet. It doesn't help that their standard [0] on what qualifies for inclusion and what doesn't is very poor, especially this: "Already representable. Can the concept be represented by another emoji or sequence, even if the image is not exactly the same?"
Let's say I want an emoji for glass of water for example. There is already one for glass of milk: . Well, I could use or or maybe even by itself is good enough, so my proposal would not be accepted.
