What did the Unicode Consortium ever do to you?

  Everything they could think of.

  Username is a clue. Pretty hilarious, actually. Edit: I assume it’s a joke related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

    No, username is a coincidence.

      Coincidences do happen. Since your comment was not a joke, I'll point out that documents aren't the only target for emoji's. This is a system-wide issue, right?
      • hollerith 1y ago
        Yes, I dislike emoji almost everywhere they occur.

  They added loads of skin tones and family types to be "inclusive" but not my skin tone or family type. I spend a lot of time choosing the "gender" of emojis that I neither care about nor can identify the "gender" of. There are too many Japanese things. Thankfully they did stop global gun violence though.

    That's on the authors of emoji pickers. You can always not include skin tone modifiers, or use a stylized emoji font that doesn't show gender or skin color (unless you're on macOS, then shitty rasterized emoji are forced upon you).

    > Thankfully they did stop global gun violence though. I thought this happened outside of Unicode... Apple switched, then everyone else did too. (Microsoft was using a ray gun at the time Apple switched; but Microsoft switched to a depiction of a revolver the day after Apple switched to a water pistol)
