Emoji Requests

Every year, new emojis are commonly requested on social media platforms, as well as part of petitions, studies, or campaigns.

Requesting an emoji is different to the act of proposing an emoji. A formal proposal, if recommended, may lead to an emoji being approved by the Unicode Consortium.
