I attended a Unicode meeting (or maybe two? not sure?) and came away with the impression that Unicode is like those open source projects that are used by half of the world and maintained by a handful of skilled and benevolent people. In Unicode's case I think most of them are paid, at least.

That is what I understood too. It doesn’t seem particularly hard to add new letters to Unicode too if you try a bit. However that is a bit harder with emojis, that have their own subcommittee, which seem to be more bureaucratic and also more popular than the rest of Unicode. Everyone wants to make a new emoji.
