I find fascinating that many of those were rejected, but "Pregnant man" and male bride were approved. https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-man/ https://emojiguide.com/people-body/man-with-veil/
I feel like they are missing emojis representing amputees of different types.
There may be more on this list that I missed but I remember "Face Banging Against Wall", "Expressionless Face Half Covered by Hair", and "Face Covered with Black Mask with Eyes and Mouth Exposed" from Skype for Business. I think Microsoft even carried them forward into Teams, although they are all the way at the bottom of the emoji list.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My only mildly knowledgeable guess would be that those are more "pregnant person" and as part of the work to add gender modifiers to emojis they just added male/female versions of a whole block that happened to include those. Would definitely love if the linked chart had a reason for rejection column
The "Pregnant Person" is another, different, variant! https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-person/ https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-man/ https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-woman/
The idea that unicode proposals have to be submitted to the unicode consortium is trash. It's be better to declare parts of the unicode standard open access (like the 2.4GHz wifi band) and just let people exchange/trade emoji sets.
I would like regional flags, even if it would be endless. At some point we're going to need submenus for emoji anyway. Surprised that sunglasses with frown was never submitted.
It's less of an issue with menus as Unicode. We only have ~1 million Unicode codepoints in total. Wasting one for ever local flag would be a mistake.
I'm also now surprised to see that Wales and Scotland get a flag but Northern Ireland does not. Aren't they on the same standing? I always thought it followed UN membership but that Wales and Scotland got an exception. I know Palestine and Kosovo have emojis also.
Are there any UN full member states without an emoji?

Right. Because the system is to have woman, man, and neutral for everything. Saves debate for more important things.
Their guideline: https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html#selection_factors_i...
For instance, they suggest using "elephant" to evaluate the usage:
