And why not?
1) It seems focused on Japan only with a heavy cultural bias as well,
2) I think the emoji are NOT used for SMS/MMS, but rather the mail messages
Japanese phone users are used to send between phones -- so what good is it
on the world scale?
3) Given a decent consortium/standards body you could stabilize the PUA
involved, why the need for encoding it within Unicode?
4) It is not altogether a convincing argument it should be encoded within
Unicode based on Unicode's own guidelines/rules.
