Emoji seem fairly culturally specific. (Maybe the mobile-phone messaging culture.) Kind of shorthand expressions which may be used with several languages - but not independent of language. I suspect some of them already convey one thing to a Japanese teenager and quite another to an American. And if you showed these symbols many people in other countries they wouldn't have a clue as to what they are supposed to mean. _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
