I believe the following questions need to be answered, possibly in an
Annex, as part of the decision to encode emoji:
1. How to distinguish between emoji whose fundamental character
identity involves color, such as the heart images from e-B13 through
e-B16, using a conventional monochrome rendering system.
2. How to distinguish between emoji whose fundamental character
identity involves animation, such as e-B09 BLACK QUESTION MARK and e-B0A
WHITE QUESTION MARK, using a conventional non-animated rendering system.
The solution might be to employ a shading/hatching scheme for color, and
little cartoon-like "motion lines" for animation, as discussed earlier.
Or it might simply be decided that these glyphs will be rendered
identically with existing fonts and rendering engines and on printed
pages.
