But… emojis aren’t made by a corporation. They are open source and Unicode. Nobody owns or copyrights emojis—Apple and Google, for example, have specific styles, but they cannot be copyrighted. That’s why the emoji movie happened—it’s a bunch of free “IP” to use and nobody that you need to pay for it. Get your facts straight before you post angrily?

Source. Source.

This is an extremely weak stance. It’s one thing to hate apple for how they design a phone, it’s another to hate all phones because they are designed by companies in general

You’re very patient. I don’t care about emojis but I understand the point you’re making. You would like a selection of emojis made by users and tailored by user trends. Seems pretty easy to grasp.
