According to Broni, the basis of Unicode is to make our digital text readable by devices around the globe forever, and removing an emoji from our library would make such text unreadable. It’s also important to note that once an emoji has been created and added to our libraries, it will, likely, never be removed. It should look like the other heart emojis already available, such as the blue (💙) or orange (🧡) hearts. ‘Pink Heart’ has been one of the most requested emojis, Broni says. Emojipedia serves as both a dictionary and an encyclopedia to research and monitor emojis. “Unicode decided to create a standard that, thankfully, the majority of the global community adheres to to ensure that the letter A will always be the letter A, across all of our digital devices, all of our Arabic numbers – 1, 2, 3, 4, those symbols – are represented correctly across these devices,” Keith Broni, the editor-in-chief of tells Nexstar. The organization was intended to create a universal character set to be used by our developing technology, with early founders working for Xerox and Apple. That’s when the Unicode Consortium, now known as Unicode, was started in Silicon Valley. To understand the process, we’ve got to go back over 30 years to the early 1990s. Though it likely takes you mere moments to find the perfect emoji to express how you’re feeling, the process of becoming an approved emoji isn’t so easy. That doesn’t include the roughly two dozen that are expected to become available in the coming months. (NEXSTAR) - From the slew of emotional faces to the countless country flags, there are more than 3,600 emojis on your smartphone.
