What problem does adding all of these random 'hieroglyphs' solve? We have:

* Grinning Face {, Big Eyes, Smiling Eyes, Sweat}

* (Slightly) Smiling Face {, Smiling Eyes, Halo, Hearts, Heart-Eyes}

* (Wo)man {,Bald, Red Hair, Curly Hair, White Hair, Blond Hair}

* Family: {{,M,W}, {M,W}, {,B,G}[1-2] }

* Leg, Foot, Ear (with Hearing Aide), Nose, Brain, Longs, Tooth, Bone, Eye(s), Tongue, Mouth

* {, Man, Woman} {Superhero, Supervillain, Mage, Fairy, Vampire, Elf, Genie, Zombie}

How many combinations / permutations do we need?

That's a dodge. You proposed a five year moratorium on new emoji. I'm asking what harm is caused by these that justifies that.

"I personally find them pointless" isn't a great reason to deny the folks who clearly find proposing and implementing them to be worthwhile.

(Side note: "Update your device to get the new emoji" is a great way to get folks doing their security patching regularly.)

Time used to implement all of these things is time not spent working on more 'useful' things. Like, from a comment up-thread, languages and scripts that people use in their daily lives:
