Again, trying to eliminate grief by decree. And then we wonder why everyone is depressed. If negative things are so undesirable, why do we represent them in the arts?

Looking at the Emoji list (in general, not from the link above) I can see plenty of emojis displaying concern, sadness, grief and other "negative" emotions.

No jealousy or loneliness

Tangential, but I can hardly be the only one who thinks emoji are stuck in a preteen mindset, with poop being the naughtiest thing expressible. Which serious language has no words for sex, drugs and the tragedies that haunt a human life?

Yes, this is because emojis are created by committee. The Unicode committee to be precise.

If instead emojis could be drawn and inserted in messages and maintained and shared through emoji-libraries by actual users, then we would get an actual naturally evolving language. Much more interesting.

Are these downloadable somewhere? Would like to add some of them to Slack / other apps. Edit: Apparently "Emoji Kitchen" is a thing made for a Google keyboard, and this web page is just a frontend to show those.

I use Gboard on my Pixel phone yet I cannot figure out how to use these for the life of me

> To use it: You need an Android phone (sorry Tim Cook!!) 1. Download and install Gboard 2. Open it and set it as the default keyboard on your phone 3. In Gboard's settings check to make sure that Emoji, Stickers & GIFs > Suggestions while typing > Emoji is enabled. This is what ensures that the feature is on :-) 4. Tap two emoji in your keyboard and it suggests a combination of those two emoji

Are these stickers inline? It's not a language if you can't make a sentence.
