Modifiers themselves are fine. Some languages have a bunch of them, and they have so many characters that adding a new character for every combination is inefficient. I'm more inclined to say that emojis were a mistake, because A) most fonts don't support a significant part of the range and B) most people are only exposed to one or two emoji fonts anyway, which defeats the point of Unicode.
Remember around ten years ago, when there were all those obnoxious banner ads urging you to install someone's proprietary whatsit so you could communicate with others using talking emoji? I'm not sure if the current situation is an improvement.Mirkwood wrote:I'm more inclined to say that emojis were a mistake, because A) most fonts don't support a significant part of the range and B) most people are only exposed to one or two emoji fonts anyway, which defeats the point of Unicode.

Or he wants to seal his escape from the role of Charles Xavier?

However, given the plot, it sounds more like it could be derived from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Men than the emojis themselves. While this is likely not the case, I am choosing to believe it for my mental well being.
