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:
