I would love a “Hi I’ve been in meetings for 5 hours and forgot to eat” emoji. But instead I have to be double extra cautious I don’t come off as short or mean when people have boneheaded ideas.
Would you be open to a generic “hangry” emoji?

Look up proposal L2/20-190. They provide a number of good reasons for pregnant man. To summarize: - It avoids gender stereotyping of men in Parenthood. - couples say "we are pregnant". The term pregnant is culturally used for men too as their search shows. - the emoji is not just for pregnancy, it is also for feeling bloated, full, and hungry. I sometimes used this emoji for saying that I'm expecting something. My pa…
Except all of those things is NOT what the actual emoji conveys.
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/

"It is time for the UTC to own up to their mistakes. This whole ordeal has gone on for way too long. I am not asking for much; the solution to this problem is laughably easy. The current gender situation in Unicode is discriminatory, end of discussion. It excludes transgender people by pretending that only women can get pregnant. It excludes non-binary people by treating the third gender option as secondary to male a…
I don't understand this part. Isn't it a good thing that those emojis lack gendered sequences? Or is it that they should have modifiers to make them appear the way that a person wants to present themselves?

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
There's some evidence of support at the end of it, many of which were angry Twitter posts. Some of those posts seem like satire/shitposts, but it's hard to say without context.
there's still no leek / scallion emoji despite the family being the 2nd most used vegetable in SEA cooking.

Just like how eggplant and peach emoji are used for representing things other than fruit and vegetables, I'd expect pregnant man to find its own niche in time. It doesn't take a genius to guess that it will be used by a lot of guys who just ate an enormous burrito.
This is not how the guys I know use this emoji, btw.
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’m pretty sure the core tenant of Unicode is to ensure universal document readability . Having a private use area is useful in theory, but will make communication difficult. I remember when iOS folks were complaining about their heart emoji showing up as a hairy heart on android phones! “[Unicode] brings order to a chaotic state of affairs that has made it difficult to exchange text files internationally.“ [0] [0] h…
