You are probably joking, but I am seriously annoyed there's no donkey emoji.

My wife and I call each other "donkey", and some years ago we used the horse emoji, which was low resolution enough to look as a donkey if you squinted. But modern emojis are too high resolution and it definitely looks like a horse now. So I feel your pain.

I wanted a pink pony.

My wifi SSID is <horse U+1F40E><unicorn U+1F984>, which is a barely satisfactory approximation.

Is U+130D8 not good enough for you?

If there's room in Unicode to describe "ARABIC LETTER BEH WITH THREE DOTS POINTING UPWARDS BELOW AND TWO DOTS ABOVE" there's room for "DONKEY".

I wonder why Gardiner's descriptions never made it into Unicode? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptian_hieroglyphs#E

O, wait, there are censored genitalia in D block ...

Thanks, I wasn't aware of it. Sadly I get square when I try to use it so less reliable than emoji.
