"Distorted Face" is awesome, I'll get a lot of use out of that.

Why is it "hairy creature" and not "bigfoot"? Is bigfoot trademarked or something?
Yeti? That's bigfoot, and very obviously so. It's the classic bigfoot pose, from the most well known "photo". And Yetis are generally depicted as white or grey in color, not always, but mostly.
Your comment is like someone posting a very clear image of a watermelon with the title "oblong melon" and you commenting "Why is it "Oblong melon" and not "honeydew"? Is* honeydew trademarked or something?"
Yeti? Thatβs bigfoot
D'oh yes, that's what I meant.
Your comment is like
It was obviously a mistake. Chill.
It leaves it open for creativity, though.
That doesn't make sense. The motivation for adding it was to let people say "Bigfoot". If companies draw a generic hairy creature then it isn't communicating that.
Thanks. I agree with you now. I hadn't seen this proposal doc. Also, being another popular fantasy creature emoji didn't occur to me.
Maybe not to get sued from the company? Just guessing
Gonna be fun to see the different designs from Apple, Samsung etc. especially Distorted Face and Hairy Creature.
This is how the Unicode Consortium comes up with new emojis:
They literally made a meme into an emoji π³
Hello.
Hopefully they add the vegan flag eventually!
