Unicode has gone too far.

A handful of emojis, fine. Pictures are not language.

We don't need a bunch of new pictures to "support the world's writing systems" (their own words).

in fact, many proto languages were glyph based. human language and pictographs are intertwined— just look at how people use smileys, emoji, kaomoji, and more.

Then include those languages. Emojis are not part of any language.
