The point was that the whole emoji encoding endeavour risks opening up
a can of worms where in fact people do want to have those things
encoded in the future. If some of these technologies were coming out
of, say, India or Thailand instead of Japan, then there might have
been a PAPAYA LEAF in there instead of a MAPLE LEAF.
That was the point. The point was not for me to show you current
evidence of use of my hypothetical examples. My apologies if that was
not clear.
