Is there a God emoji?
- medwards666 3y agoNot sure, but I'd more than welcome a "God, please make it stop!" emoji ...
- isykt 3y agoThere are several religious emoji.
- smeej 3y agoWhat would a God emoji look like? Seems like it'd be a bit tough to get agreement there.
- Biganon 3y agoThe closest thing to a deity is probably "", that looks like a personification of wind, not unlike what the ancient Greek probably had
- lozenge 3y agoLooks more like rain to me.

- wffurr 3y agoI tried to post a money emoji in response, but HN strips emoji from comments.

- rsynnott 3y agoAlso many variants of Protestantism. And even in monotheistic religions which don’t prohibit it, generally God is not considered to look like anything.
- luuurker 3y agoBut it's not forbidden in many other religions and emojis are for everyone. I don't really care if there's a "God emoji" or not and wish good luck to those who'd have to picture God in an emoji, but this freedom and respect thing goes both ways. A group is free not to like or use this emoji, but they don't get to stop others from liking or using it.
- rsynnott 3y agoWhile some monotheistic religions don’t explicitly prohibit it, I’m not sure that any encourage it, or have any particular conception of what God looks like. Catholicism, some Protestantism: Not prohibited, God doesn’t look like anything. Islam, other Protestantism: prohibited, God doesn’t look like anything. Judaism: prohibited, God doesn’t look like anything. Like, I’m not sure anyone would thank you for this emoji.
- pxc 3y agoPlus Unicode already includes a ton of emoji that Islamic fundamentalists doubtless consider unacceptable. Liberal Muslims can presumably put up with other people using a God emoji just like they can put up with other people using a devil emoji.
