Why did Unicode reject the “external link symbol?” (2018)

- kps 4y agoThere's U+1F517 LINK SYMBOL, which sometimes gets used for this purpose.
- necovek 4y agoComplaint about a Unicode consortium decision from 2006 on external link symbol contrasting it with either legacy symbols (for an ability to encode any previously encoded text using prior encodings) or with a significantly more recent emoji push. Was it not obvious already in 2018 that goals have shifted a bit in response to how people have started using Unicode?
