It's an open-ended set and precedent for encoding them exists.
Generally, input regarding the addition of characters to a repertoire
is solicited from the user community, of which I am not a member.

by the various corporations in promoting the emoji into Unicode would
have been better directed towards something more worthwhile, such as
