Why isn't there a Rubik's Cube emoji? (sh.itjust.works)

What is the use case you expect where people are going to need a Rubik's Cube character on a regular basis?

I guess maybe it could be used to symbolize "puzzle", and maybe there'd be some limited use for that, but there's already a Unicode "jigsaw puzzle piece" that I think pretty much fills that role:

goes to find it in emacs

C-x 8 RET j i g TAB

U+0x1F9E9 JIGSAW PUZZLE PIECE (🧩)

if "needing on a regular basis" is the criteria, you will have a hard time justifying some of the emojis that already exist

Can't disagree there!
