That list only includes suggestions that were seriously considered and voted on.
Since it's a vote, there is no single official 'reason' for rejection. If I had to guess: it would be confusing to anyone who didn't grow up with American TV shows.
- pwdisswordfishq 4mo agoEh, it's not like there are hundreds of emojises pretty much exclusively tied to Japanese culture.
- maxbond 4mo agoThey were grandfathered in, not voted on. Or rather there was a vote that resulted in adopting the character sets developed by Japanese telecoms en masse.

- throawayonthe 4mo agowhat's the connection to american TV shows? i'm only aware of the tinfoil hat through cultural osmosis i guess, something about shielding from radio waves it's a popular image/byword/archetype for conspiracy theorists, idk if it's a common enough symbol to justify emoji inclusion. the submitted proposals probably have analyses of that though :p
